Self-care is about keeping fit and healthy, understanding when you can look after yourself, when a pharmacist can help, and when to get advice from your GP or another health professional.
If you have a long-term condition, self-care is about understanding that condition and how to live with it.
Self-care is recommended when you have a minor condition which doesn’t normally need medical care (from a doctor or nurse) or any treatment in order to get better.
In practice this means a person decides that they can manage their illness without seeing a doctor.
But what if you feel you need some advice before you are able to self-care?
For instance, if you’re not sure if your condition is minor, or one that goes away of its own accord, i.e. a virus, or if you just want advice on how to relieve the symptoms.
