Self Care

Self-care means looking after yourself in a healthy way; by managing self-limiting, short-term illnesses and minor conditions through self-care, it will help to ease the pressure on the NHS. To learn more about this please go here for the national change in policy, and here,  where you will find a position statement that includes a list of the conditions for which you do not normally need to seek medical advice and can instead consult your pharmacist and purchase the treatment(s).
