Pioneer Wound Healing & Lymphoedema Centres
Pioneer Wound Healing and Lymphoedema Centres are the UK’s largest expert wound healing and lymphoedema team and are leaders in the two specialties with many decades of specialist experience between us. Headquartered in Sussex, we have, for the past 25 years been delivering evidence-based wound and lymphoedema treatment and consistently achieve what we believe are the best healing outcomes in the UK.
We deliver world-class care from our NHS Centres (England) and we also work alongside colleagues in hospitals, hospices, community nursing, Nursing Homes and GP Practices (England).
You can also access our specialist team via our Private Care Centres for those areas not covered by our NHS clinics. We believe everyone should have access to the top specialists for their condition so we can provide online support on request for those that cannot travel to us.

For the last year and a half Pioneer has been working tirelessly with the very challenging oedema in my mothers arm and hand.
