Karen Friett & Lymphoedema Support Network Workshop

Chief Executive Lymphoedema Support Network

Karen trained as a Registered General Nurse at Guys Hospital in the late 1980’s before specialising in gerontology, oncology and palliative care. She worked at Guys Hospital until moving to a new Hospice in Kent in the 1990’s. After progressing to a senior management position she left the Hospice in 2006 to join the LSN as their development manager and ultimately Chief Executive. Karen believes that lymphoedema and those who live with it matter and deserve better from researchers, health care providers and society generally.

She is married to Paul and has two adult sons, a small dog and a tortoise! Outside of work she enjoys singing and playing whatever instruments she can lay her hands on.
