Living well with long-term conditions: report of the Open Space events held in Glasgow, Tuesday 13 February 2007 and Aberdeen, Thursday 15 March 2007

The Long Term Conditions Alliance Scotland (LTCAS) was established in 2006 to bring together hundreds of voluntary and community organisations across Scotland in order to give a national voice to ensure the interests and needs of people living with long-term conditions are heard and addressed. The events held in Glasgow on 13 February 2007 and in Aberdeen on 15 March 2077 are described. The events involved people living with long-term conditions, unpaid carers, professionals from health, social care and voluntary organisations and policy makers and aimed to answer the question how can NHS Scotland support people who have long-term conditions and their carers?
