Lymphoedema Service

The Myton Hospices provide specialist palliative care to patients with life limiting illness and are the only hospice providing in-patient care within Warwickshire and Coventry. 

The Lymphoedema Service is based at the Myton Hospice in Warwick.

The opportunity has arisen to recruit two professionals to our well established Lymphoedema Service. The service provides support and care for patients in the inpatient unit, day hospice and outpatients. Palliative care experience is desirable but not essential as training can be given.   You will also possess strong interpersonal and communication skills to work collaboratively with colleagues and deal sensitively with patients with complex needs.
