In this blog, Anya de Iongh describes how her 92 year old grandmother, who subscribes to the ‘doctor knows best’ school of thought and would not describe herself as having long term conditions, is in fact a role model for self-management support.

Anya explores the different ways her grandmother self-manages as part of her daily routine, without considering that she is actually self-managing. The blog is linked to a twin blog with QISMET which describes straightforward things older people can do to help them self-manage.
