The expert patients programme (EPP) has been evaluated throughout its pilot and mainstreaming phase. Indications from this data self-reported by participants show a reduction in service utilisation which includes, seven per cent, reductions in general practitioner consultations, 10 per cent. reductions in outpatient visits, 16 per cent. reductions in accident and emergency attendances, and 9 per cent. reductions in physiotherapy use.Further work is under way as part of the broader independent evaluation of the EPP to assess the financial impact of this. Results are expected to be known later in 2006.
