ALISS in Action

Every year in September, the ALLIANCE celebrates Self Management Week to highlight self management activities across Scotland. As part of this, our Engagement Officer Amber gave a presentation on how ALISS can support individuals in the community to better self manage their health and wellbeing.

Self Management is a way of living and working that means people living with long term conditions feel more in control of their health and wellbeing. It supports people in living their lives better, on their terms.
