National Alliance of Wound Care

The National Alliance of Wound Care (NAWC) has introduced its newest wound care-related certification in the specialty of lymphedema in the lower extremity (LLE). The LLE is an advanced credential that demonstrates a candidate's proficiency and mastery of essential knowledge and skills of lower-extremity lymphedema and associated wound management.

"The LLE validates a wound care professional's expertise in lymphedema lower-extremity wound management. It enhances their marketability, while assuring employers they are hiring a leader with tested competency in lower-extremity lymphedema above basic wound care certification," said Debbie Hecker, MBA, RN, WCC, executive director of the NAWC.

The LLE is the third certification offered by the NAWC. Prerequisite education for LLE certification will be offered by Lymphedema and Wound Care Education, LLC.
