On Wednesday 3rd October at the Scottish Parliament, the 2018 Self Management Award winners were announced.
Last night the Scottish Parliament was bursting with anticipation about who would be our newly crowned winners of the annual Self Management Awards. Jackie Baillie, our sponsoring MSP opened the night speaking passionately about the importance of self management to support individuals living with long term conditions.
