NHS England and the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) have produced a short film to help GPs support people to develop confidence in self care and social prescribing, such as getting involved in community activities.

The video, A Personalised Care Approach for People with Long Term Conditions: a Changing GP Approach, demonstrates the improvements to an individual’s wellbeing and health self care can make.

It also explains how this approach can benefit GPs as their patients take a more active role in managing their own health and how it shifts the conversation from “what’s the matter with you” to “what matters to you”.
