2. Self Management Definition
“Self management is the successful
outcome of the person and all appropriate
individuals and services working together
to support him or her to deal with the very
real implications of living the rest of their
life with one or more long term condition...”
3. Self Management Definition
“..It is a concept where the person takes
ownership and is central. It is a process of
becoming empowered to manage life with
long term conditions. It is not an individual
action, specific treatment or service; neither
can it be delivered by a single
organisation.”
(Scottish Government/LTCAS, 2008)
5. Supported Self-Management
“Self management support can be viewed in
two ways:
as a portfolio of techniques and tools that
help patients choose healthy behaviours;
and a fundamental transformation of the
patient-caregiver relationship into a
collaborative partnership.”
6. Role of the Self Management
Champion
The Scottish Government, worked with the Health & Social
Care Alliance to develop their strategy for Self Management
(Gaun Yersel). Through this, they encourage NHS Boards to
develop a culture of support for Self Management.
The Role of the Self Management Champion is to ensure
that Self Management is always on the agenda in planning
and service development at a local and national level. They
will promote Self Management as an effective, person-
centred and efficient form of condition management.

Research shows that supporting self management can improve:
self confidence / self efficacy
self care behaviours
quality of life
clinical outcomes
patterns of healthcare use
A review of almost 600 studies found that when people are supported
to look after themselves, they feel better, enjoy life more and have less
need to visit GPs or hospitals.
