Abstract
Objectives: In this paper, we seek to clarify what is known about self-care in chronic illness and the impact of lay-led self-management programmes. The main focus of the paper is the specific `lay-led' interventions developed by Kate Lorig and her collaborators in the USA, and in the context of the English Expert Patients Programme (EPP).Keywords
