Expert Patients Programme

If you are living with a long-term illness, why not take control and become an expert patient?

With 60% of adults in the UK reporting a chronic health problem, the management of long-term conditions such as arthritis, coronary heart disease, and diabetes is a major area of concern for the NHS. We run an Expert Patients Programme (EPP), a course that helps people living with these conditions to take control of their illness, manage their health and improve their quality of life.

For more information about the EPP or to read about an expert patient's experience just click on the links listed on the left-hand menu bar.
