Long Term Conditions

Expert Patient Programme

A new approach to chronic disease management.

Free locally held courses designed to help people with long term illnesses regain as much control over their physical and emotional well-being as possible.

The course takes place over 6 weekly sessions that last about 2½ hours each.

It provides people living with long-term conditions, the opportunity to meet new friends and receive support from others. The volunteer tutors who have long-term conditions themselves are supported and trained by staff working for the Expert Patient Programme.
