When did your patient last replace their compression?

Medical compression garments don’t last forever. Over time, regular wear, washing and stretching can affect how well a garment performs, which is why keeping on top of replacement timings is an important part of ongoing compression management.

But remembering when every garment is due for replacement isn’t always easy.

That’s where our free Remind Me Service can help. Patients receive an email before their garment is usually due to be replaced, commonly around one month ahead, giving them time to contact their GP practice or clinician and start the repeat prescription process.

The reminder can also include details of their previous garment, helping to make those repeat prescription conversations a little easier.

Help your patients stay one step ahead of their next replacement. Find out more about our free Remind Me Service here: https://daylongdirect.co.uk/remind-service/

Introducing Rachel 👋

Rachel is our Formeo Lead, working within the Customer Care team where she helps with everything from processing prescriptions and answering calls to looking after Formeo.

One of her favourite parts of the job is getting to help our customers, patients and nurses every day.

When she’s not working, Rachel loves going to the cinema and theatre, watching live music and settling down with a good true crime documentary. And her hidden talent? She can do a cartwheel! 🤸‍♀️

When it comes to choosing a favourite Daylong Direct product, Rachel says she loves them all, but right now the Solidea BE YOU Leggings are top of her list because they’re comfortable to wear while looking just like regular leggings.

We’re so pleased to have Rachel as part of the team! 💙

Can you sleep in your compression? 🌙

It’s a common question from patients, but the answer isn’t always a simple yes or no

For many people wearing standard compression stockings, the usual advice is to remove them before bed. However, some compression garments are designed to be suitable for overnight wear, depending on individual needs and treatment plans.

One example is the Solidea® Silver Wave Skin Bra, which is suitable for both day and night-time use for those managing breast and trunk lymphoedema. In a recent clinical audit, 10 women were regularly wearing the bra overnight after approximately four weeks.

What a patient needs can depend on the condition being managed, the type and level of compression they’re wearing and their individual treatment plan.

For more guidance on choosing the right compression for your patients, our team is always here to help!

Say hello to Samantha 👋

Samantha is one of our Territory Managers, covering East Anglia, Central and North London, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and beyond.

She’s been part of the Daylong Direct team for 18 months and is still relatively new to the world of wound care and compression.

Outside of work, there’s plenty keeping Samantha busy. She’s a self-confessed crazy cat lady with three cats (so far!), has a side hustle making polymer clay earrings which she sells at artisan markets, and is also a biker! 🏍️

In fact, Samantha completed her motorbike test just one month before her 40th birthday and now rides a BMW R1200RS (although, in her own words, she also “falls off it quite well”! 😂)

Her favourite Daylong Direct product is the Solidea® Silver Wave Skin Compression Bra, which she loves for its ability to make a real difference to patients’ lives.

Great to have you on the team, Samantha! 💙

Thank you to everyone who took the time to visit our stand today. We hope you enjoyed the exhibition as much as we did!

Could a donning aid make compression easier for you or your patients? 👀

Here are three signs it might be worth considering:

1️⃣ Putting compression on is becoming physically difficult: Reduced strength, grip, or mobility can make pulling a garment into position challenging.

2️⃣ Application is taking a lot of time or effort: If getting a garment on is becoming frustrating or exhausting, an application aid could help simplify the process.

3️⃣ Help from someone else is regularly needed: The right donning aid can support greater independence with compression, while also making application easier for carers and healthcare professionals.

Application aids such as the Arion Easy-Slide are designed to reduce friction between the skin and garment, helping compression slide more smoothly into place with less physical strain.

Have you spoken to your patients about how they’re managing their compression at home?

As the weather gets cooler and tights make their way back into our wardrobes, compression doesn’t have to mean compromising on style. 🍁

Varisan® Fashion Class 1 Tights combine graduated compression with the look of everyday tights, helping to support circulation and reduce swelling while fitting easily into your autumn wardrobe.

With a comfortable, non-binding waistband and a choice of colours, they’re designed to provide support whether you’re heading to work, out for the day or dressing up for an evening.

How do you style your compression when the weather gets cooler?

Another fantastic Macmillan Coffee Morning! ☕️💚

Every year, our team comes together to host a Coffee Morning in support of Macmillan Cancer Support, and this year we’re delighted to have raised £335!

Cancer is something that has touched so many of us, whether personally or through family, friends or colleagues, so this is a cause that feels particularly close to home for our team.

Our Coffee Morning has become something we look forward to each year. Everyone gets involved by baking, bringing in treats and donating, giving us the chance to come together as a team while doing something positive to support people living with cancer and their families.

Macmillan provides vital practical, emotional and financial support to people when they need it most, and knowing that even a small contribution can make a difference is what keeps us taking part year after year.

A huge thank you to everyone who baked, donated and got involved. We’re so pleased to have raised £335 for such an important cause. 💚
