| Annotation | Self care includes the actions people take for themselves every day in order to stay fit and maintain good physical and mental health, meet their social and psychological needs, prevent illness or accidents, and care more effectively for minor ailments and long term conditions. The central focus of "Your health, your way" is to promote discussion between health and social care professionals and individuals with long term conditions about what options there are for self care and what support and information is available. This information booklet does not represent a definitive guide to implementing self care or personalised care planning in clinical practice, but rather offers an introduction to the concept of supported self-care and personalised care planning. It also uses the term "self care" to refer to self management as well. (RH). |
