Self Care Manuals - Living with COPD, Controlling IBS, Positive about Epilepsy & Understanding Sickle Cell

• Living with COPD
• Controlling IBS
• Positive about Epilepsy
• Understanding Sickle Cell

Designed for patients with long term conditions, the Self-Care Manuals provide clear, non-technical and concise information for such patients to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle. They give advice to patients with conditions such as sickle cell, COPD, epilepsy and chronic neurological disorders on how to keep fit, healthy eating, the effects of smoking and alcohol as well as information on what local services are available with respect to their condition.

All four self care manuals have been licensed and are now available from both an electronic publisher and in print, go to www.myilibrary.com or www.hunterlodge.co.uk. The printed manuals are being promoted nationally to PCTs with the focus on patient empowerment outside the clinical setting.
