Commissioning Self Care Support for People with Long Term Conditions
This self care resource pack has been put together as a direct result of the NHS South West Red / Amber / Green assessment carried out across the region in July 2009. It brings together examples of self care policies, all the relevant policy documents and other information from the Department of Health and elsewhere, to give you all you need to develop your own local self care policy.
For each section there are key actions to take as part of the process of developing the policy, implementing the policy once adopted, and monitoring and evaluating the outcomes.
