Learning for Health is a project to develop course materials and digital resources for people affected by long-term health conditions like MS, Parkinsons or stroke and their carers or family members. The aim of the course is to build up participants’ understanding of their health, accessing peer support in the local area and on the internet, retaining mobility and maintaining wellbeing.

The course is being accompanied by digital media 'surgeries' to show people how to use digital tools in a range of ways such as learning to save money, photography or film-making and internet research.

The aims of the project are to pilot new forms of health education that are more accessible to people with different needs and to develop stronger networks between education, health and community groups. It is funded by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills as part of the Government’s Learning Revolution programme for informal adult learning.
