This report is a result of a research project commissioned by the Scottish Human Services Trust that studies collective advocacy for people who have long-term contact with health or social care services. The purpose of the study was to map, in two geographical areas, the range of groups whose role includes, or potentially includes, collective advocacy. Also, to identify the issues currently faced by groups in promoting the interests of members and achieving involvement and influence, and to highlight key areas for development that would be required to enhance capacity for collective advocacy. Five different illnesses and health conditions were selected for the study: cancer, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, diabetes and motor neurone disease.
