KYOH is an integrated
self-management service

Currently

Throughout 2012 we will be launching a range of services with our NHS partners, starting with a group of local support communities operating under the Somerset Pain Management Service.

We are working with the support of Dr Alf Collins, consultant in pain medicine and the driving force behind Somerset’s innovative approach to pain management services.

• Find & Learn

  KYOH helps people build up their knowledge, enabling them to easily find and organise the trusted information that can help them. It also enables people to locate and access the local services they need when they need them and then to provide feedback on the performance of those services.

• Make Progress

  KYOH supports people to take the steps that will help them improve the quality of their daily lives and manage their symptoms, like setting manageable goals and targets to improve fitness and emotional well-being and make informed decisions about their care needs.

  It helps them to build up their own information about their health, understand the risks they may face and identify the positive steps they can take to mitigate them.

• Communicate & Share

  KYOH helps reduce the isolation and fear that many people feel when they are managing a difficult health condition. It provides access to localised support communities and enables people to share their knowledge and information with others like them.

  KYOH also enables their family, carers and caregivers to support them as they make progress.
