Abstract

The United Kingdom (UK) has an aging and rising population who are known to have increased prevalence of long-term conditions (LTC) which is threatening to overwhelm current healthcare systems. The COVID-19 pandemic and its risk of transmission provided an opportunity for individuals with LTCs to focus on self-care, and for District Nurses (DNs) to promote self-management. Self-management strategies such as digital technology, motivational interviewing, social prescribing, and shared decision making can assist DNs in planning a whole-population approach to managing physical and mental well-being. Yet, for this to become a reality, investment is needed to educate patients, their carers, DNs and the multi-disciplinary team (MDT) and ensure the suitability of methods to sustain future practice.
