Why It Matters
In England, over 15 million people live with a long-term health condition1
While these conditions may not always be curable, they can be successfully managed to improve quality of life.
Caring for individuals with these conditions represents nearly 70% of the nation’s healthcare expenditure2.
Participants in the programme have reported feeling healthier, more confident in managing their health, and better supported in their daily lives.
We aim to continue empowering individuals to take control of their well-being while easing pressure on the NHS.
