A well-designed Supported Self-Management Programme is not just about providing information or resources – it’s about encouraging individuals to take control of their health in a way that is meaningful to them. Our programmes support practitioners, health coaches, and long-term condition specialists to be able to develop impactful self management support by combining education, emotional support, practical tools, and ongoing guidance,
Many health and care providers offer support for self-management as part of their care provision and health and wellbeing workforce strategies. This typically involves bringing together individuals with the same health condition or with similar healthy lifestyle challenges and working with them in group settings to strengthen positive health-related behaviours by supporting participants to develop their understanding of health conditions and increase their health literacy.
Our supported self-management training programmes draw on evidence based tried and tested methods to prepare you to work with individuals and groups, or enhance your existing offers and interventions so your patients can take a more active role in managing their health and wellbeing.
Our custom-designed Supported Self-Management programmes enable individuals to take an active role in their own health, particularly those with long-term or chronic conditions. Below are just a few examples of programmes that we can provide and run for teams, services and organisations.
Workshops & Courses: We offer courses focused on the principles of supported self-management, including health coaching, motivational interviewing, shared decision-making, and patient-centered care. These skills are crucial for helping healthcare providers empower patients to manage their own health.
Role-Specific Training: We provide tailored training for different healthcare roles (e.g., nurses, physicians, allied health professionals) to understand how they can integrate self-management support into their specific area of practice.
Support Needs Review: Our team are able to support in identifying gaps in existing programmes or specific areas where self-management can be strengthened (e.g., waiting lists, chronic disease management, and post-discharge care).
Programme Design & Customisation: Our Personalised Care consultants are available to support in the design or refinement of self-management programmes that are specifically tailored to the patient population and conditions being managed. This could include making adjustments for cultural differences, health literacy levels, or other social determinants of health.
Multi-disciplinary Team Training: We are available to train health and care teams on collaborative care models, where various professionals (e.g., doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, social workers) work together to support the patient’s self-management. Emphasising communication and coordination within teams ensures a holistic, person-centered approach.
Personalised Care Plan Development: We can support healthcare providers develop collaborative care plans that include self-management goals, and ensure that all team members understand their roles in supporting the patient’s self-management efforts.
Peer and Lay Coaching: We can provide training for peer coaches or patient mentors who can provide support and guidance to other patients going through similar health challenges. These peer support roles are particularly valuable in chronic disease management programs.
Group Self-Management Programmes: Our team can facilitate training for health and care providers to run self-management programs that involve patient groups. Group sessions can provide emotional support, share experiences, and allow for collective problem-solving around health challenges.
Caregiver Support: Our team is available to train health and care providers to involve family members and caregivers in the patient’s self-management plan, providing them with resources and strategies to support the patient effectively.
Communication Skills: We can offer coaching and communication training to help healthcare professionals engage family members and caregivers in discussions about self-management and ensure that they are equipped to provide the necessary support.
Behavioural Science: Our faculty can provide training for health and care providers on evidence-based behavior change models such as the COM-B (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation and Behaviour) or Habit Formation to help patients set realistic health goals and sustain behaviour changes (e.g., improving diet, increasing physical activity, medication adherence).
Motivational Interviewing: We offer training in motivational interviewing techniques that empower patients to take ownership of their health decisions, identify their motivations, and set meaningful, achievable self-management goals.
