2. Care pathways: providing specific interventions Care planning: A system of regular scheduled appointments, providing proactive structured support NB : People may also be accessing a wide variety of other support e.g. from within their communities Life with a long term condition: the person’s perspective Interactions with the service: planned or unplanned Problem solving: Time limited consultation/s providing motivational support Why support self-management?

3. 3 “ 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.” Bodenheimer T, MacGregor K, Shafiri C (2005).

7. 7 Evidence for supporting self management grows every year. Research is up to date Internationally, studies are consistently positive Research has used a range of methodologies. Studies are from small to large scale. It shows that supporting self-management can improve: self confidence / self efficacy self management behaviours quality of life clinical outcomes patterns of healthcare use The evidence

8. 8 Active support works best Research shows that more active support focused on self-efficacy (confidence) and behaviour works best to improve outcomes. Information and knowledge alone are not enough.

10. 10 Self monitoring and agenda setting reduce hospitalisations, A&E visits, unscheduled visits to the doctor and days off work or school for people with asthma (Gibson et al 2004). Goal setting for older women with heart conditions reduces days in hospital and overall healthcare costs (Wheeler et al 2003). Telephone support may improve self care behaviour, glycaemic control, and symptoms among vulnerable people with diabetes (Piette et al 2000). Motivational interviewing improve self efficacy, patient activation, lifestyle change and perceived health status (Linden et al 2010).

But now I’m saying like, ‘I’m not sure these particular painkillers are working the way we hoped, can we try something else? What could I do myself? ’ “ Person living with a long-term condition Skills developed....

We used to wonder why that wasn’t working” “Now I use agenda setting with my patients and I start by asking ‘what do you want us to do today?’ Patients appreciate this different approach because you are giving them the power. You work out the goals and the steps together and they are empowered to carry on and work on it on their own. So you may need to see them a bit more at first, but in the long run you need to see them less often.”
