Self-care, also known as self-management, is about looking after yourself, especially if you have a long-term health condition. It includes learning about your condition and how to manage it, and partnering with your healthcare team to share in decisions about your treatment. It's also about taking charge of the things you can change. Visit our self-care resources pages.

Whether you're living with recurrent or ongoing health problems or are keen to develop good self-care skills, one of the best things you can do to help yourself is attend what is referred to as a self-management programme. Find a self-management programme.
