Wound Care UnWRapped with Cheryl Pollock
Cheryl Pollock, Founder and CEO of ChezLeon, joins Wound Care UnWRapped to share the personal journey that led her to invent DP-Tx™ (Differential Pressure Therapy). After developing lymphoedema following cervical cancer treatment, Cheryl became frustrated by the limitations of conventional management and set out to create a better solution. The result was a patented technology designed to support lymphatic flow and improve quality of life for people living with lymphoedema.
In this episode, Cheryl shares her journey from patient to innovator, the challenges of bringing a medical device to market, and why lived experience has an important role in shaping the future of healthcare.
This podcast is designed to inform and inspire discussion. It should never replace individual patient assessment, professional judgement or current evidence-based practice.
Wound Care UnWRapped is a podcast by Hayley Ryan, nationally recognised Clinical Nurse Consultant and the Founder and Director of WoundRescue. The podcast peels back the layers of wound care and addresses the questions that too often go unspoken. Hayley brings together a diverse range of voices from across the field (clinicians, researchers, educators, industry leaders, innovators and policy makers) who share their expertise, experiences and perspectives. The goal is to uncover what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to change.
