Signposting and referral
Some of the areas of care that self-management supports may be out of your clinical expertise or care remit. Some examples include:
- Acute exacerbation management
- Smoking cessation
- Exercise
- Diet/nutrition
- Medication management and compliance
- Breath control
- Low mood and anxiety
It may be more appropriate for you to signpost or refer your patient/client to a specialist service or website. It is therefore essential that you are aware of what assets are available in your area and keep up to date with national and local guidelines.
