After two years of waiting because of the Covid-19 pandemic, TVNs from Wales, and
the UK, and the All Wales Lymphoedema Network are coming together again and
attending the Pride Cymru’s Big Weekend raising awareness in lower limb care.
This event is Wales’s biggest celebration of equality and diversity, over two days
hosting over 50,000 people in the Welsh capital to celebrate the LGBT+ community.
Following on from the massive success and pleasure of TVNs from Wales and the
UK attending Pride Cymru’s Big Weekend in 2019, this year’s #CelebrateYourLegs
is going to be BIGGER and BETTER than ever before. The All Wales Tissue Viability
Nurse Forum, along with the All Wales Lymphoedema Network, TVN2gether
and supported by JCN, Wound Care Today and industry partners, are joining the
parade and attending over the weekend of 27–28th August to champion not only
the important Pride message, but also to raise awareness of lower limb issues to the
LGBT+ community and their allies. Here, we ask Julie Evans, lead tissue viability
nurse at Powys Teaching Health Board, about Pride and the All Wales Tissue Viability
Nurse Forum’s involvement.
