The MLA has become CaSLE: Casley-Smith Lymphoedema Education

We are delighted to announce our new name: Casley-Smith Lymphoedema Education (CaSLE)

Most of what you have come to know about the MLA, who we are and what we do, will remain the same. We shall carry on working in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support, although we will now have a level of independence that will give us greater scope to explore new ways of expanding and developing our education service.

Watch here for further announcements from the CaSLE team in the coming days.
