☀️ Here at the ILF headquarters in the UK 🇬🇧 we have been experiencing the highest temperatures ever recorded in May, with parts of the country entering heatwave conditions.

For those living with lymphoedema or wearing compression garments, warmer weather can make day-to-day management even more challenging.

Some great advice here from our Annual Partner Medi and their team in the UK on how to stay cool, comfortable, and supported in the heat 👏

A big thank you to the Medi team for continuing to provide expert support and practical advice to the lymphoedema community. 💙
