    The site has been delivering the Co-creating Health programme with a focus on people with musculoskeletal pain.

    Also focusing on COPD, the site has been working with respiratory inpatients and outpatients at Addenbrooke’s hospital and with defined GP practices within the locality.

  • Guy's and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust

    Focusing on self management support for people with diabetes, the site is delivering Co-creating Health across primary and secondary care.

  • NHS Ayrshire & Arran

I'd be really interested in some background literature in co-creation. Have read the piece by John Bessant and Lynne Maher - what is the literature that the Helath Foundation programme is based on?

Hi Juliet - thanks for your comment. We commissioned an evidence review on Self Management Support which will give you the background you are looking for. You will find it here:

The work across these sites looks really interesting. However, they remain condition/symptom specific and I am involved in writing a strategic framework that really needs to scale up self management approaches so that we can start to address the cultural issues and expectations of professionals and people with LTCs alike.
Can you suggest where might be at a similar stage or if you are involved in the scaling up of this approach.

Dear Lynne

Thank you for your message and interest in the CCH programme. All of the sites are currently working to embed self management support and spread to other conditions. I suggest that you speak to one of our Self Management Support Fellows so please send me an email and I can put you in touch. We are currently uploading their details onto our Self Management Support Resource centre which you may find helpful for information: www.health.org.uk/sms

I found this site while looking for funding streams and financial backing to support a health care project that would give better access to care and support, I wonder if this would be something relevant to this site or if anyone is able to point me in the right direction. Many thanks.
