Chronic condition self-management: partnerships with patients

Associate Professor Malcolm Battersby
Director, Flinders Human Behaviour & Health Research Unit,
Flinders University.

The Flinders model of self-management care planning has evolved over 10 years as a generic (non disease specific) method to assist clinicians to assess, plan and motivate their clients to improve their self-management of chronic conditions. In this workshop, Associate Professor Malcolm Battersby will provide an introduction to the background, development and use of the Flinders assessment and care plan tools. Case examples will be given showing how the tools have been used and evidence provided of the effectiveness of the care planning process in a variety of settings.
