Setting up your NHS login

• Before you start, you will need your own individual email address, as your email address acts as your unique identifier for pairing your NHS login account to the NHS Wales App, and a phone number.  This email address must be recorded with the practice and appear in your clinical records for access to be gained.
• A 6-digit security code will be sent to your email. You will be asked to enter this code to verify your email address and continue.
• Next, you will be asked to give your mobile phone number. Another 6-digit security code will be sent by text message to your mobile phone. A security code will be sent to your mobile phone every time you log in, unless you select "remember this device and stop sending security codes".
• The NHS account and login are not managed by the NHS Wales App. 
• As the service is available across the UK, it is not currently available in Welsh.

Each six-week course is accompanied by an introductory session that gives an overview of Zoom & its functions, and also introduces the participants to the Tutors & the course they will be attending. The courses will be run in groups of up to ten participants, and aims to develop the fundamentals of self-management skills for people living with a range of health conditions and also for carers.

Participants will be led through a structured course by trained Tutors (the majority of which are Volunteers), who themselves have experience of making life changes as a result of a long term health condition.

• Our EPP Cymru courses help give participants the confidence to take responsibility for their own care, whilst also encouraging them to work in partnership with health and social care professionals.
• What makes EPP Cymru special is the sharing of skills and experience with people who have to deal with the same things as each other.
• NB: EPP courses do not provide any health condition or treatment information, nor does it look at specific health needs.

All courses will be delivered virtually via Zoom, until further notice.
