Exhibit With Us
Join us as an exhibitor at our annual conference and get access to professionals caring for people with lymphoedema / chronic Oedema, many of whom who are leaders in their field.
“I have attended the BLS Conference as an exhibitor for the last three years and can hand-on-heart say that it is one of the best conferences that we do. Delegates are always very keen to come to the stand to talk to us and we always find that we have ample time to speak with everyone. We have made fantastic connections and the conference has really helped to move our business forward. See you next year!”

On Wednesday, 7th October, the event will be presented in association with Lipoedema UK, the leading charity dedicated to improving understanding, diagnosis, and care for people living with lipoedema.
Lipoedema UK works with patients, clinicians, and researchers to raise awareness of this often‑misunderstood condition and to champion better treatment pathways. Their partnership with the BLS brings together shared expertise to support earlier recognition, joined‑up care, and improved outcomes for those affected by lymphoedema and lipoedema.

"Presenting at the British Lymphology Society Conference 2025 was a milestone in my professional journey as a Lymphoedema Nurse Specialist. As someone attending and presenting for the first time, I felt a mix of excitement and anxiety. The support from attendees and friendly atmosphere quickly eased my nerves... Overall, the experience has left me feeling more confident, inspired, and motivated to continue contributing to the lymphoedema community. I’m grateful to the BLS for the opportunity and look forward to staying involved in future events."
