This event will focus on self-management to help patient organisations explore how they can support their patient communities to self-manage their health conditions
People living with lung conditions manage their health and wellbeing on a day-to-day basis. Supported self-management has been shown to help patients in maintaining their quality of life alongside a chronic disease. Supporting people with long-term conditions to self-manage their disease is a fundamental part of high-quality care. During the event we will consider key questions for patient organisations such as:
Our event will include inspiring talks from experts in self-management, people living with lung conditions and patient organisations active in this field. There will be a chance to explore the opportunities and challenges patient organisations face in supporting self-management as we share and learn from each other.

A full programme will be added to this event page in due course – register now to receive updates.
The talks will be recorded and made available after the event on the ELF website.
