Our Projects
Peer Support Project
We have now launched our new " By Your Side Peer Support project, funded by the Alliance for Health and Social Care, Scotland. This is an exciting new service designed to support people with lipoedema in Scotland. People will be able to refer themselves, or be referred by a health professional, for one-to-one support. You will be matched to a specially trained Peer Supporter volunteer who also has lived experience of lipoedema. For more information, click here
Stakeholder Conference
This conference, held in Edinburgh in March 2023, brought together people with lipoedema, health and social care professionals, and industry partners to discuss the effective diagnosis, care, and treatment of people with lipoedema in Scotland and beyond. Click here to find out more!
Living Well With Lipoedema
We have established this innovative self-management course that runs over five weeks for groups of around 10-14 women with lipoedema. The course aims to bring people together in a relaxed and formal setting, while also covering many topics . Click here for more information.
Roadshows
We have been running half-day roadshows at Talk Lipoedema for many years, and over 202 and 2023 we were supported by a Scottish Government grant to deliver 6 roadshows in different areas of Scotland.
