Importantly, delaying compression therapy for patients with chronic oedema and lymphorrhoea causes many avoidable complications. In 2017, Lymphoedema Network Wales (LNW) developed an evidenced-based pathway to improve the management of chronic oedema and wet legs (lymphorrhoea) for community nurses. During the past 4 years, the Chronic Oedema Wet Leg Pathway has been presented, published and used internationally, as well as being translated into different languages. It is commonly used in community nursing Teams as an evidenced-based document. However, like all documents and guidelines, when more evidence becomes available, the pathway needs updating. Therefore, this clinical focus article will present the new and enhanced Chronic Oedema Wet Leg Pathway, introducing a new level four compression section, which increases the layers of compression bandaging for patients with venous insufficiency or who are morbidly obese. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.12968\/bjcn.2021.26.sup10.s16","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,20]],"date-time":"2021-09-20T15:38:49Z","timestamp":1632152329000},"page":"S16-S21","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Introducing the new Chronic Oedema Wet Leg Pathway"],"prefix":"10.12968","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Melanie","family":"Thomas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Clinical Director Lymphoedema Network Wales"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karen","family":"Morgan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Lymphoedema Education Lead in Wales: Lymphoedema Network Wales"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paula","family":"Lawrence","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Lymphoedema Community Educator Lead in Wales; Lymphoedema Clinical Nurse"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"5130","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110","DOI":"10.1111\/bjd.19803","volume":"185","author":"Burian EA","year":"2021","journal-title":"Br J Dermatol"},{"issue":"10","key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"592","DOI":"10.12968\/bjon.2021.30.10.592","volume":"30","author":"Gabe-Walters M","year":"2021","journal-title":"Br J Nurs"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e009283","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2015-009283","volume":"5","author":"Guest JF","year":"2015","journal-title":"BMJ Open"},{"issue":"12","key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"578","DOI":"10.12968\/bjcn.2017.22.12.578","volume":"22","author":"Humphreys I","year":"2017","journal-title":"Br J Community Nurs"},{"issue":"1","key":"B6","first-page":"16","volume":"1","author":"Lam R","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Lymphoedema"},{"issue":"10","key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"731","DOI":"10.1093\/qjmed\/hcg126","volume":"96","author":"Moffatt CJ","year":"2003","journal-title":"QJM"},{"issue":"5","key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"772","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.12694","volume":"14","author":"Moffatt CJ","year":"2017","journal-title":"Int Wound J"},{"issue":"2","key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"147","DOI":"10.1089\/lrb.2018.0086","volume":"17","author":"Moffatt CJ","year":"2019","journal-title":"Lymphat Res Biol"},{"issue":"1","key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"40","DOI":"10.12968\/ijpn.2018.24.1.40","volume":"24","author":"Morgan K","year":"2018","journal-title":"Int J Palliat Nurs"},{"issue":"3","key":"B12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"915","DOI":"10.1172\/JCI71608","volume":"124","author":"Mortimer PS","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Clin Invest"},{"issue":"2","key":"B14","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"359","DOI":"10.1111\/bjd.13851","volume":"173","author":"Partsch H","year":"2015","journal-title":"Br J Dermatol"},{"issue":"3","key":"B15","first-page":"44","volume":"104","author":"Posnett J","year":"2008","journal-title":"Nurs Times"},{"key":"B16","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101720","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejon.2019.101720","volume":"44","author":"Thomas M","year":"2020","journal-title":"Eur J Oncol Nurs"}],"container-title":["British Journal of Community Nursing"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.magonlinelibrary.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.12968\/bjcn.2021.26.Sup10.S16","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,20]],"date-time":"2021-09-20T15:40:13Z","timestamp":1632152413000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.magonlinelibrary.com\/doi\/10.12968\/bjcn.2021.26.Sup10.S16"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,1]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"Sup10","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.12968\/bjcn.2021.26.Sup10.S16"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12968\/bjcn.2021.26.sup10.s16","relation":{},"ISSN":["1462-4753","2052-2215"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1462-4753","type":"print"},{"value":"2052-2215","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,1]]}}}
