Webinar Series: The Role of Peer-Led Programmes in Chronic Illness Management and Pacing Theory

Webinar Series 2027

Speaker: Elizabeth Curtis

In 2025, Jo Southall and Elizabeth Curtis created the Chronic Illness Management Programme, an evidence based lived-experience informed programme. Designed to be accessible to as many people as possible, it has now been accessed by patients worldwide. This presentation explores the role of lived-experience in patient health management programmes, with discussion on accessibility and reflection on the currently available health management programmes. It touches briefly on pacing, a key theory that underpins health management for many, while also considering the limitations inherent in programmes like ours. 

Each webinar in the series will be hosted by Charmain Grant, our Online Events Coordinator. After the presentation, there will be time for questions and answers, followed by a short run-down of upcoming OUPS events.
