Helping you look after your health

Helping you look after your health

Your care coordinator should make sure you and your carer have the information you need to manage your conditions. This will help you to stay independent and in control of your health.

They should ask you regularly if you, or your carer, need more information and support. This is important because many long-term conditions change over time and your needs might change.

If you need specialist help to manage your conditions, your care coordinator should organise this for you.

Questions you or your carer might want to ask

  • What should I do if I am finding it difficult to cope with my conditions?

  • Can you give me some written information, like a booklet, about managing my conditions?

  • Can you give my carer some information?
