Abstract

This article considers the potential of a self‐management programme for primary care treatment of patients with chronic disease and co‐exisiting mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. The authors conclude that a growing body of evidence suggests that such a resource should be high on the list of referral options for GPs and other health professionals.
