Self Care Model of Consultation - A tool for use by healthcare professionals
The Self care Aware Model of Consultation was developed by Professor Mike Pringle CBE and Dr Pete Smith OBE for use in the Joining Up Self Care (JUSC) Study As part of the JUSC Study, Professor Pringle ran training seminars on this consultation model which is a helpful tool when encouraging patients to self care for their minor ailments. It is also a helpful mechanism for discussion as a practice team since it was designed to be used by multi-disciplinary teams of GPs, nurses, health care assistants and pharmacists. The objective of the model is to help build upon patient’s own efforts and encourage future self care behaviour by defining those conditions that are suitable for self care and providing reassurance that nothing more serious exists.
