PEOPLE with long-term health conditions are invited to join an Expert Patients Programme at the Baptist Church, Upton.

Running from Wednesday, July 26 to Wednesday, August 30, the course is open to any adult with a long-term illness such as heart disease, MS or arthritis. It aims to help patients manage their condition better and build on individual coping skills.

It will take place for two-and-a-half hours on one day a week over the six week period. Anyone interested in taking part should contact Tracey Poutney on 01905 760049.
