Knowledge and understanding of a chronic condition helps people to feel in control and helps them to cope. All clients have access to a comprehensive library on site and for some conditions group learning programmes are available.

We provide a yearly schedule of such programmes for:

• arthritis
• rheumatoid arthritis (newly diagnosed)
• fibromyalgia (Wellness Programme)
• ankylosing spondylitis
• chronic pain
• back pain
• post polio syndrome

Each education programme has several components delivered by our health professionals. On the first day of admission a seminar is provided on the "Pain/Stress" cycle to give people an understanding of the relationship between the two. Other sessions during the week may be provided by the rheumatologist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist and counsellor respectively. 

This valuable education is combined with worthwhile, practical treatment.
