Self care is the basic level of health care in any society, comprising an estimated 80% of all care episodes. Self care is about people’s attitudes and lifestyle, as well as what they can do to take care of themselves when they have a health problem. Supporting self care is about increasing people’s confidence and self esteem, enabling them to take decisions about the sensible care of their health and avoiding triggering health problems. Although many people are already practising self care to some extent, there is a great deal more that they can do.

Ethics, equity and pandemics, EFPC 2021 Conference Bergen
COVID & Primary Care - Organisation of Primary Care
“Is there an ethical obligation to treat the sick, risk illness, and potentially die when effective protection from disease transmission is unavailable due to factors beyond a health carer’s control?
