We regularly run the following programmes:
- Diabetes Self-Management Programme (DSMP) – for anyone living with type 2 diabetes
- Expert Patients Programme (EPP)– open to anyone with a long-term condition
We also run targeted courses such as:
- Why weight – for those wanting to manage their weight and become more active
- Sickle cell – for people who live with Sickle Cell disorder
- All sessions are free, and you can join in person or online.
- Patients have benefited greatly from the programmes with one patient saying “This is not something I thought I would benefit from, but I have. It gives ideas how to manage pain and time and how to try and keep a healthy lifestyle, I would definitely recommend”
