Doctor and patient in Cambridge
Natalie Grazin, Assistant Director of the Health Foundation, has written a piece for the HSJ on self-management: co-creating health. The article was published online on 12 January 2009.
Natalie explains that in hospitals and general practices across the UK, a pioneering group of clinicians is leading a quiet revolution that is turning on its head the way clinicians approach their consultations with people who have long term conditions. She writes that while the old school clinicians is not quite dead, there are people who are prepared to take on new concepts and to recognise that the previous way of working was not as effective as it could be.
