Self-Management & Patient Centred Care
This programme focuses largely on the experience of individuals in their role as patient or carer, where they are in contact with health care professionals, services or policy, and the involvement of 'users' in service delivery and research.
The programme aims to be methodologically innovative, engaging with the complexity of health care, and understanding complex systems.
The major themes include: living with chronic conditions; living with dying, including palliative care/end of life; successful self-management, including diabetes care; the impact of new technologies, eg. information and communication technology on the patient experience (e-health); and complexity theory applied to health care.
