Other acknowledgements
Gabe, Gina and Sally are the authors of Poster P43.15 at WPC, but of course many others have contributed to the Expert Patient Tutor scheme. We would like to acknowledge with gratitude the work of the many other Expert Patient Tutors who serve on the scheme, the admin team who support it so well, and the students who have engaged with it so positively.
