- TCST Minimum Dataset for Lymphoedema Services (2020) – This spreadsheet is designed to help you collect a minimum dataset to describe the types of patients attending your lymphoedema clinic and demonstrate workload and capacity. The drop down menus ensure that the data you collect will be comparable with that collected by other services using this tool. Please ensure that you add text wherever you select the ‘other’ option. Also, there is a comments box at the end of the row to capture any other information you wish to include.
Acknowledgement: This MDS spreadsheet has been adapted from the work done by Kay Morris, Ireland and the BLS MDS form.
