Lipoedema UK’s Big Survey 2014 found that only 5% of women responding to the survey had been diagnosed by their GP and led to the development of RCGP’s Lipoedema e-learning course.
Led by Dr Dirk Pilat, contributors to the course included Professor Peter Mortimer, Dr Sarah Pledger, Suzanne Evans from Lipoedema UK, Sharie Fetzer and nurse consultants Chris Wise and Denise Hardy.
For anyone who thinks they have lipoedema but aren’t sure how to approach their GP, the Lipoedema UK Membership Pack includes a GP Information Pack containing course information, the benefits of early diagnosis and treatment, research projects and other lipoedema resources.
