self management uk, a charity leading provider of self-management training and education in the UK, joined forces with Hywel Dda University Health Board in Wales to improve access to community-based combined self-management education and exercise classes for people with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).
My self-management journey started in 2007, but my story started much earlier, in 1999, when at 30 years’ old, I was diagnosed with malignant melanoma. It was a huge shock but, after a successful operation, I returned to work.
I am a young carer for my mother, who has lived with severe depression for many years, and more recently for my baby daughter as well. Being a young full-time mother has never held me back from achieving life’s goals.
