Making the case for self care education
The Department of Health, in collaboration with Expert Patients Programme CIC, have developed a new tool to help make the local business case for self care education. This analysis tool allows the published findings to be calculated for given GP practices, PCTs, SHAs or GP commissioning pathfinders with their own characteristics in terms of current service levels, prevalence of the long term condition and costs. There are two documents to download, a detailed user guide and the analysis tool itself, which is based on a Excel workbook.
It is advisable to open the user guide first as you may have to alter some settings on your computer to ensure that the macros in the spreadsheet work correctly.
