FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Self-management means taking steps to look after your health, especially if you have a long-term condition like asthma, diabetes, COPD or depression. It’s about making choices each day that help you feel better, like eating well, staying active, taking your medication, and knowing what triggers your symptoms.
Self-management doesn’t mean doing it all alone. Self-management is most effective when you can work with your healthcare team, join support groups, and get advice from professionals to stay on top of your condition.
-
Self-management puts you in control. It helps you learn more about your condition, face everyday challenges, and make choices that suit your life. On average, people who have one or more long term conditions spend less than 3 hours a year with their healthcare provider. Self-management is a partnership with your healthcare team and others in similar situation, but it equips YOU with the skills and knowledge to be in the driving seat.
-
Digital self-management is just like regular self-management, but you use technology to make it easier. On the Hope Programme you can read text, watch videos, do interactive activities, quizzes, track your symptoms, set goals and engage with other people in similar situation through forums and messages. Digital tools can send your reminders and do some of the hard work for you, so you can focus on keeping well.
-
Anyone with a long-term condition can benefit. Whether it’s a physical condition like diabetes or a mental health condition like anxiety, self-management helps you take control and live life on your terms.

The Hope Programme is for anyone 18 years or older who lives in a postcode in the South West region.

All you need is internet access and a device like a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
