'How can we best support men to self-manage?' - The Department of Health Sciences at the University of York, in partnership with the Men’s Health Forum presents a symposium on self-management support, bringing together experts and self-managing men. You can book your free tickets online now.
The Men's Health Forum is supporting pioneering research into men and self-care, conducted by the Department of Health Sciences at the University of York. The Self-Man project has reviewed the published evidence on self-management support interventions, with the aim of creating recommendations and guidance for practitioners, as well as comparing effectiveness, accessibility and acceptability of the various interventions used.
In September, a symposium will be held at the University of York to discuss the findings of this research, especially aimed at those involved in commissioning, designing or delivering self-management support to men living with long term conditions.
