2. Why Take Control? One in three people face cancer
Information on the internet can be unreliable, confusing and even
dangerous Patients and their families need resources close to home
A single focus service, engaging specialist professionals
maximising chances of lasting success Encouraging self referral
reduced reliance on health professional referrals and widened
potential service use Patient self management is encouraged and
gives people back some control
3. Partners A small project team was deliberately set up to
make sure the decision making process was effective and focused. It
meant it was easier to schedule meetings where everyone was
present
4. Planning Process Bid prepared for funding sent to SLIC A
plan was written to identify realistic targets to ensure project
was completed in time It was decided to aim the collection at both
cancer patients and their families Referrals could be done via both
health professionals but self referral was to be strongly
encouraged A Collection Policy was written to allow us to identify
potential material and keep the collection relevant
5. Collections to include: Cancer types and treatment based
upon the most common cancers identified in Tayside but also to try
and include material on other cancers We looked up Amazon to see
what titles were being purchased Nutrition and exercise - whilst
undergoing treatment this is an area the medical profession often
do not have time to discuss fully with patients and their families
Relaxation and mindfulness Survivors stories - more and more people
are surviving cancer
6. Promotional Material We tried to brand the material to match
the colour of the quick pick units we had chosen to house the
collections Angus Council Design unit devised a logo and colours
were used to reflect the branding Posters Surgeries, Hospitals,
Schools, Libraries, Citizens Advice, Shops Leaflets for health
professionals Explanatory leaflets Credit card sized reminders to
put in purses or wallets Feedback bookmarks All promotional
material was reviewed by health professionals and patients to
ensure we had the correct terminology
7. Marketing To engage both health professionals and the public
information about the new service was drip fed to local newspapers
Partners in NHS Tayside provided us with avenues we had never heard
about! We had press releases on the NHS Intranet ALISS (A Local
Information System for Scotland) We used social media on our own
facebook site and the Angus NHS news Adverts were run on local
radio for two weeks Social media facebook and now a web
presence
8. Getting the message out Health Professionals put us in touch
with Practice Managers, Pharmacists, Hospitals Presentations were
scheduled at CMRR Groups (Community Medicine and Rehabilitation
Redesign) GPs, Consultants, Specialist nurses, Social Workers, OTs,
Physiotherapists Libraries were encouraged to visit surgeries
9. Pre launch Procedures were drawn up for library staff Very
important staff are discreet and books are issued in confidence A
staff member joined a Sage training, a course designed for medical
receptionists to help people in distress Altered our loan period so
that people did not get unwelcome reminders at a time they may be
having treatment The location of the collections is important so
they are visible yet allow people who may not have told their
families about a diagnosis privacy to browse We signposted people
to other support agencies
10. Monitoring LMS Statistics will tell us how many times
particular books are being borrowed We can see how the collections
are being used in different locations Hits to the website and the
way people interact with it are recorded monthly Feedback bookmarks
tell us how people find out about the collection and its relevance
to them
11. The way forward. Chi gung? Creative writing? Benefits
advice? Collections for other conditions?

45. Gaun Yersel - Self-Management Strategy The Scottish
Government Strategy calls for: People to have more access to high
quality information about their condition and its impact on their
life. People to have more access to support including peer support.
Increased provision of emotional and mental health support for
people with long term physical conditions. A change in culture so
that people - those receiving and those delivering services - have
the confidence and capacity to work together as partners. Better
partnerships working by NHS, voluntary sector and local
authorities. Scottish Government & The Local Term Conditions
