Supported self-management guide

The supported self-management guide supports teams of healthcare professionals deliver on the Comprehensive Model for Personalised Care.

This guide is designed for people and organisations leading local implementation of personalised care. It will help them:

• improve their understanding of what good supported self-management looks like and why it improves outcomes and experiences for people, their families and carers, as well as achieving more value from the system
• understand how these services can be commissioned locally
• identify best practice advice and how they can apply this.

Health coaching and care coordination are enablers for supported self-management, helping to give people the knowledge skills and confidence to self-manage their conditions.  We have developed guidance and information on the role of health and wellbeing coaches and care coordinators and how they can empower people to self-manage their health and wellbeing.
