Tool

The Auckland District Health Board sponsored this project and worked with Health Navigator NZ to develop a toolkit.
This toolkit provides practical tools, resources, programme information and examples to help teams apply evidence and knowledge-based approaches to self-management support for people who have chronic disease or long-term health conditions. Over time, it is hoped this toolkit can be localised for different regions of the country as well as updated, revised and refined to become an essential guide to self-management support for healthcare teams throughout New Zealand.
Access to the toolkit is available from the Health Navigator NZ website: http://www.healthnavigator.org.nz/resourcestoolkit/

This is a superb resource and one that I will use a lot I hope. I will certainly share with colleagues here and in Australia. What did surprise me though was the abscence of discussion of programes or resources for those with Chronic Kidney Disease which is a real gap. While I appreciate that there is much here that can be adapted I believe this is a group of people with some quite unique needs. I wonder if this lack of condition specific information relates to the fact that the work in this area has not been done as it has for Gout, Asthma, Diabetes, Depression, Cancer etc.
Thank you for this work it is much appreciated.
