| Annotation | This is one of ten background papers providing detailed analysis and support for the report, Engaging With Care: A Vision For The Health And Care Workforce Of England, published by the Nuffield Trust in September 2007. The report, together with the set of background papers, provides an analysis of current policies and trends and identifies routes for future action. The report identifies trends and challenges that can help define the common ground in health and care policy, while allowing for different policy directions at national and local levels. This paper sets out trends in policy, and presents a summary review of the literature on self-care, selected to highlight barriers to implementation and to suggest potential solutions to some of these barriers. Very little literature is UK-based: most UK literature relates to the Expert Patients Programme (EPP). However, the extant international literature does provide insights into how self-care could develop in the future. (RH). |
