The
Condition Management Programme (CMP) is a voluntary programme,
developed to help people better understand and manage their
health condition and develop the self confidence and practical
skills to help them back towards returning to work. The
scheme is delivered by the NHS Health Practitioners and
is a significant part of the Pathways to Work initiative
provided by Jobcentre Plus which offers support to people
who are out of work and are on incapacity benefits, to help
them look at returning to some form of employment now, or
in the future. Attending the programme does not affect benefits
in any way whatsoever.
