Year of Care, Thanks for the Petunias - A guide to developing and commissioning non traditional providers to support the self management of people with long term conditions

Year of Care, Thanks for the Petunias

The guide, ‘Year of Care, Thanks for the Petunias – A guide to developing and commissioning non traditional providers to support the self management of people with long term conditions’, is an important product of the national Year of Care Programme (www.diabetes.nhs.uk/year_of_care).

The guide offers new, practical and cost effective ways to increase the opportunities for self management for people with Long term conditions (LTCs) by engaging with local non-traditional providers (e.g. charities, community organisations and social enterprises) to meet their needs.

The guide is of relevance to commissioners, primary health care teams, Health and Wellbeing Boards, anyone with an interest in redesigning services to improve outcomes of people with LTCs.
