This webinar is designed to provide an overview and in-depth meander through some of the key questions relating to self-management and self-efficacy. It is suitable for physiotherapists at all grades working across different specialities. Fiona will draw on her work developing Bridges self-management for stroke survivors but include reference to recent research and service improvement projects which have extended the work to brain injury and other complex long term conditions.
Fiona will start with an overview of self-efficacy and how it relates to self-management referring to examples of how self-management support can be successfully integrated into rehabilitation. As new innovations in self-management emerge we now know more about what makes programmes fail or succeed. Fiona will share some of the innovations developed through the Bridges approach and examples of rehabilitation teams that have managed to make self-management support part of everything they do. This can lead to a positive behaviour change for all; patients, their families and healthcare professionals!
The potential of self-management programmes is an enticing area with relevance across the physiotherapy profession. But the mechanisms of impact, fidelity of programmes and understanding who the real beneficiaries are is still work in progress. As thr title of this webinar suggests ‘its all about the small steps’.
