Regular readers may remember the posting we published in January about getting involved with the NHS Expert Patient Programme.
The Isle of Wight NHS offer a free, confidential course designed to help those with chronic illnesses learn how to manage their conditions and therefore improve the quality of their lives.
The programme runs over a period of six weeks, with weekly two hour sessions in a relaxed environment where you can talk to experts about how your condition affects you.
If you would like to find out more about the Expert Patient Programme or enrol onto the next series of workshops which begin on 9th June 2009, telephone Chris Gale, Patient and Public Involvement Co-ordinator, NHS Isle of Wight on 01983 534175 or email: christopher.gale(at)iow.nhs.uk or Freephone 0800 988 5520.
Please don’t forget to say where you heard about it.
