Self Care - Learning to live well

Self care is how you take medicines, treat minor ailments, and seek help when you need it as well as keeping fit and healthy.

And if you have a long term condition, its about understanding that condition and how to live with it on a day to day basis. 

People say they want to look after their own health and most people with a long term condition tend to be experts in their own care but some still do not understand their condition or are unsure when and why they take their medicines.
