The paradox of the expert patient: Empowerment or reinforcement of the medical paradigm?
This paper will draw on data from three completed qualitative studies to explore the nature of patient expertise in long term conditions. A typology of the expert patient will be presented and discussion will focus on whether the concept of the expert patient as envisaged by the Department of Health and facilitated by interventions such as the Expert Patients Programme is empowering or a reinforcement of the medical paradigm.
Dr Patricia Wilson is senior lecturer and research lead for patient experience and public involvement at the Centre for Research in Primary and Community Care (CRIPACC), University of Hertfordshire. She has researched and published widely on policy approaches and patient experience within long-term conditions service including analyses of the expert patient concept. She led a Department of Health (CSIP) funded evaluation of an Expert Patients Programme modified for people with moderate learning difficulties which is now being rolled out nationally. With a clinical background in community nursing she has previously completed a number of studies exploring the role of community, primary care and specialist nursing staff in long-term conditions services. Utilising a case study approach underpinned by a whole systems approach and national consensus events she has just completed a NIHR-SDO study evaluating the nursing contribution to chronic disease management. In June 2009 she was awarded a senior clinical research fellowship by NHS East of England to investigate patient experience of integrated services in long-term conditions and to develop an evaluation tool. Her current research includes a NIHR-SDO funded project investigating how patients with long-term conditions are engaged with and listened to within the commissioning process, and an evaluation of the London Polyclinic system.
