If you suffer from a chronic illness, or if you know someone who does, and you have never heard of the Experts Patients Programme Community Interest Company (EEP CIC), now is the time to find out more.
This great health resource has been specifically designed for men and women of all ages who suffer from a chronic illness. The EEP CIC has developed a number of free “self management” courses providing support and advice on a wide range of medical conditions to help the public at large deal with their conditions in the best possible way. Courses covering diabetes, learning difficulties, substance and alcohol abuse are just a few examples of what is available.
They are all given by trained tutors who are themselves managing their own long term health conditions and participants must commit only two and half hours of their time per week for six weeks.
To find out more about what EEP CIC can offer you, have a look at their website – www.expertpatients.co.uk . Feedback from course participants certainly suggests that this organization can give people a new lease of life. Maybe it can do the same for you!
