Impact

All charities are required to demonstrate clearly how the public benefits from their activities.

• We are the only training organisation to measure in a scientific way the effect of our training of health professionals on the patients they care for
• We are able to show¹ that our training makes a measurable difference to the health outcomes and quality of life of patients with long term conditions
• We have been training healthcare professionals since 1987. In 2009, millions of people with incurable long term conditions benefitted directly as a result of us delivering more than 300 courses to more than 5000 health professionals in 8 countries and across 3 continents
• View our Annual Reports: Annual Report 2010/11, Annual Report 2009/10, Annual Report 2008/9

We are constantly developing knowledge which we seek to share to the benefit of others.  Over the last 12 months we have accepted invitations to advise on many topics.  To find out more about this, please visit our Charitable Activities area of the site.
