Hide AdIan Welsh, chief executive of the Long Term Conditions Alliance Scotland, said: "The campaign is about getting the message across to people living with long-term conditions that self-management can make life better.
"Self management is about putting people living with long-term conditions in the driving seat by helping them to access information and skills to find out what's right for their condition and for their life."
