Range of courses
Our original and most popular course, the generic Chronic Disease Self-management Course (CDSMC) – originally developed by Stanford University, California – is open to anyone with any long-term health condition. It is run over six weekly sessions of 2½ hours by two trained tutors (also living with a long-term health condition) and looks at things like managing pain, coping with feelings of stress and depression, health living and exercise.
In response to feedback we have expanded our portfolio of products to meet different peoples’ needs. Our range of courses now includes the below courses.
Self Care for everyone
EPP CIC is keen to promote self-care and healthy well-being not only to people living with long-term health conditions but to everyone. In June 2008, EPP CIC took over the NHS Working in Partnership Programme’s (WiPP) suite of self-care resources including the Self Care Connect website (www.selfcareconnect.co.uk). Included in this are two self care training courses; ‘Self Care for You’ and ‘Self Care for Primary Care’. Both provide skills and advice to help people engage in self-care to improve their lifestyle and develop positive health behaviours.
