Has anybody else trained as an Expert Patient?  If so, have you found it helpful?

    Hi @Sam_Scope - it's a government funded initiative that has now been running for several years.  Different local health authorities run them programmes.  If you google Expert Patient Programme you will find lots of different examples, like https://www.whittington.nhs.uk/default.asp?c=10332
     I did mine in Richmond about 8 years ago
