A NEW initiative from the NHS to help people living with chronic disease will soon be available in Blackburn.
Expert Patients is a self-management course to help people cope better with chronic disease or long-term medical condition and enable them to live a healthier life.
The course consists of six sessions, each two-and-a-half hours long, and the course is run over six weeks.
Anybody with a chronic or long-term condition, whether they are newly diagnosed or have had the problem for many years, is welcome.
People attending the courses will receive information and support to improve their quality of life by improving their skills in self-management. Details from David Barwell, course trainer, on 01772 645633.
