Expert patients are live with a long-term health condition, but are able to retain control over their health by understanding and managing their conditions, leading to an improved quality of life.

As the NHS website says - expert patients...

  • Feel confident and in control of their lives
  • Aim to manage their condition and its treatment in partnership with health care professionals
  • Communicate effectively with professionals and are willing to share responsibility on treatment
  • Are realistic about the impact of their disease on themselves and their family
  • Use their skills and knowledge to lead full lives.

The ability to achieve this is sometimes enhanced by attendance at an Expert Patient Programme.
