description Lymphoedema is a chronic and progressive disease of the lymphatic system characterized by inflammation, increased adipose deposition, and tissue fibrosis. There are two types of lymphoedema, primary and secondary lymphoedema, which have different causes. This thesis comprises of eight papers, a research body that examines the impact of economic evaluations on lymphoedema research and practice in Wales via the Lymphoedema Wales clinical service. These research papers present a body of evidence of the demonstrably positive impact that economic evaluation research is having on people living with lymphoedema in Wales. This evidence has enabled WG to permanently allocate the funds needed for both the LVA and OGEP programme. This has enabled LW to continue to implement their interventions and innovative practice. This has also given LW the time and resources to bring their experiences and evidence of best practice to other health practitioners.
