The Expert Patient ProgrammeA New Approach to Chronic Disease Management for the 21st Century
Key Recommendation
Establish a programme for developing more user-led self-management courses to allow people with chronic illness to have access to opportunities to develop the knowledge confidence and skill to manage their condition better

• Deal with the generic consequences of conditions - loss of confidence, pain and fatigue
• Improve people’s problem solving, decision making and confidence
• Develop partnerships between patients and health professionals
Self Management aims to:

Key aspects of lay-led self-management
• Emphasis on living with condition not just managing illness – social model not biopsychosocial
• Does not provide health information– Generic course not condition specific
• Leader facilitates problem solving does not provide answers – The course process facilitates group and individual learning getting
participants to draw on their own experiences

Progress so far
• 15,000 people with LTCs attended an EPP course • Specialist courses piloted for parents and young people• Bi-lingual tutors are being trained • Courses delivered in Prisons, with marginalised and
ethnic minority groups• An on line course being trialled in 2005 for people who
cannot attend community groups.

EPP emerging trends
Significant reductions in service usage

EPP emerging trends
• 50% of participants live with 3 or more LTCs
• Over 94% of those who took part felt supported and satisfied with the course
• Many positive comments made about the course but people also want longer term support to build on the progress they have made to help them re-establish themselves in society as confident self managers.

Future for EPP
Local • A mainstream NHS service available in every PCT • Self-management support commissioned locally by
PCTs according to need and availability• Integrated with other services locally
National• Central support including robust QA • Developments - EPP Online• Part of a wider Public Health agenda

National : Training and quality assurance framework

Local: Integration with other services
• Range of different services available for different conditions in primary and secondary care: – Pain management – DESMOND / DAFNE – Cardiac Rehabilitation – COPD programmes
• Services provide different care pathways

What really happens to people?
![Page 21: Chronic Disease Management and the Expert Patients Programme](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa71a28abf838c98c5c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Real challenges
We need to understand more about :
– the impact of long term conditions
– the impact of multiple long term conditions
– what we really need to do to support people to become effective self – managers
![Page 22: Chronic Disease Management and the Expert Patients Programme](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa71a28abf838c98c5c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Qualitative research
• People with long term conditions emerging as effective self managers describe having been on a journey.
• Long term conditions can cause a gradual disintegration of the person’s sense of self before beginning a long rebuilding process to establish themselves in society as confident self managers.
• How can we really support them through this?
![Page 23: Chronic Disease Management and the Expert Patients Programme](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa71a28abf838c98c5c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
“The real epiphany is the realisation that all patients self manage, all the time. If health professionals act in a way that undermines people’s coping skills, then they can expect to see patients calling on their services with increasing frequency.”
Coulter and Elwyn 2002 BJGP 10/2002 Quality Supplement s23
