What are the benefits of attending an EPP self-management programme?

Nobody knows yourself better than you do.  So it makes sense that the same will be true when it comes to managing your health condition, or caring situation.

EPP Self-Management programmes compliments the care you get from the NHS, by giving you the ability to manage your health condition.  The programmes have been shown to enable patients to take control of their health and wellbeing by learning a set of tried and tested techniques. These increase confidence and the ability and belief to cope and manage health conditions. These all lead to an improved quality of life.
