The Self Management team review their activities from 2019
This year the Self Management Network Scotland reached over 750 members across all of Scotland’s 32 local authorities and we continued our support across regional self management networks in Grampian, Highlands and Ayrshire and Arran.
In 2019, the work of the Self Management Programme was taken international at the International Conference for Integrated Care at San Sebastian. We presented the development of our Self Management Reflective Practice session, the Self Management Network Scotland and with IFIC launched the Self Management and Co-production Special Interest Group.
The ALLIANCE, led by the Self Management programme, along with the Scottish Library and Information Council and the Scottish Government developed the first collaborative strategic action plan of its kind in 2019. ‘A Collective Force for Health and Wellbeing’ sets out a national commitment to working together across all libraries, health and social care, and the third sector, to help transform Scotland’s approach to health and wellbeing.
Building on this relationship has been through the Co-Creating Libraries for Wellbeing Project in partnership with NHS Health Scotland, Midlothian Council and Scottish Government Digital Health and Care Directorate, funded by the Scottish Library and Information Council’s (SLIC’s) Public Library Improvement Fund. Working with our partners to lead on the co-creation of services supporting young people’s mental wellbeing in Midlothian, North Ayrshire and South Lanarkshire. Following the pilot of each of these services, learning will be gathered on the process of co-creating these services with representative young people and cross-sector partners to inform a second pilot to be developed and delivered in 2020, building the capacity of each of the three areas in the co-design process and building cross-sector relationships.
2019 signified ten years since the launch of the Self Management Fund. Since 2009 the Self Management Fund has funded 53 projects supporting people to self manage. We celebrated the achievements of the fund by recognising it as the theme for Self Management Week. Bringing together our diverse network and beyond for a week of activities highlighting the innovative and exciting self management work happening across Scotland, this culminated in a celebration at the Scottish Parliament for the Self Management Awards. Winners were announced from six categories, including two exciting new categories, the Digital Innovator Self Management Award, in partnership with Discover Digital and the Employability Self Management Award in partnership with SUSE.
The Self Management Fund continued to support 42 existing projects and invested a further £1.2million, with support from William Grant Foundation into 53 new projects aiming to support people to self manage and create stronger links across health and social care integration.
Ongoing delivery of our Self Management Reflective Practice sessions to frontline health and social care staff across Scotland was an area of focus in 2019. These sessions create space for staff to explore how they support people to self manage. In 2019, we built on this work by utilising them as a tool for partnership and adapted them to regional contexts across sessions delivered with Argyll and Bute.
