Self care is recommended to treat conditions which don't normally need medical care (from a doctor or nurse) or any prescribed treatment in order to get better. 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 practice or another health professional. For minor ailments and illnesses you can safely treat your symptoms at home, reducing the number unnecessary consultations, enabling health and care professionals to focus on caring for higher risk patients.
