Self care matters

Findings

The feedback received suggests people would like to know where they can access information.

Those in attendance also suggested the potential for technology to enable people to self monitor their long term conditions.

Another suggestion was to create a directory of available leaflets, so they can be provided in an accessible format.

Participants also emphasised the importance of local activities supporting wellbeing, and healthy nutrition in relation to self care.

The engagement findings suggest there is a need to have adequate support in relation to long term conditions, emphasizing the importance of recognising people from the nine protected characteristics (as per the equality act), including LGBT and young people.
