Rogers A - The self-management of long-term conditions undertaken by people in their own homes has been attributed with increasing importance in health care policy...Whilst the notion of an Expert Patient conveys a sense of what a new health policy centred on long-term condition management hopes to achieve, an important corollary is understanding the conditions necessary to accommodate and embed new techniques in the routine elements of illness ‘work’ undertaken by patients living with a long-term condition. This paper explores the health policy context of self-management, including the evidence and adequacy of the organizing concepts and outcomes associated with the EPP, and suggests that a greater focus on illness work and the social and domestic contexts is required in future innovation and research in the area of long-term condition management.
