​Our Vision

LGOWIT aims to raise awareness of the difficulties of living with lifelong chronic conditions, help people self-manage their conditions through training, education and fun; giving people the ability to control how they live their lives better and with confidence.

Our Mission

We are a partnership of organisations, who are motivated to work together to deliver a comprehensive approach to self-management for people living with long term conditions.

We have found that we can achieve more for people living with a long term conditions by sharing experiences, training, information and working together

We recruit volunteers living with a long term condition to be Self-management Ambassadors, across NHS Highland, to promote, give guidance, understanding and the fullest support available to help and train people living with long-term conditions to self-manage

Our Core Values
​
  • Support - Providing support through our Peer Support (Living Better) Groups and events throughout the Highlands. Bringing people together to help support each other.
  • Educate – Provide training to people living with long-term conditions to enable them to self-manage.   Education and promotion of the key points of self-management. LGOWIT work with NHS Highland and Highland Council to deliver this to their staff.  We provide web based resources, giving access to activities available in local communities to support people to self-manage.
  • Committed - Every event we organise, we are committed to giving the highest quality understanding to people’s needs and support  them accordingly
  • Promotion - To promote in all ways possible the value of self-management and it's integration in to the community
