'Living Well' courses are part of the Expert Patient Programme (EPP). They help people with any long-term condition take more control over their health by managing their condition better on a daily basis. Funded by the NHS, 'Living Well' courses are organised locally by East Sussex Downs and Weald Primary Care Trust (PCT).
