Self-care allows your patients to take an active role in their care by collaborating with clinicians, patients, and their families. Greater patient engagement and self-care can benefit patients with wounds, especially those with chronic lower limb ulcers, where the need for care is growing.

Our Best practice Statement for Self-Care aims to:

• Outline Self-care
• Describe the benefits and potential challenges for patients and clinicians
• Consider individual patient needs to guide clinicians in assessing patients for self-care
• Emphasise the importance of effective communication and provide a dialogue tool to support clinicians in promoting self-care
• Focus on self-care in the context of VLUs and compression therapy
