      ab: This article describes the content of the Chronic Oedema Ambassador Programme (COAP), a 2-day training programme focussing on care and management of lymphoedema and its practical impact on a real-world tissue viability practice in the Scottish borders. Delegates on the training programme had the opportunity to learn more about lymphoedema and to share best practice, discussing challenges and successes in this area of care. Lymphoedema is an issue that affects many patients in practice; lack of effective care can lead to serious consequences and affect patient quality of life. There is a need for effective and consistent evidence-based care for lymphoedema patients.
