Care Plans & Action Plans

Action plans provide you with written information reminding you what to do when things go wrong or symptoms occur. These can be very useful for a range of conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart failure, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary or Lung Disease), gout, bothersome eczema or significant allergies.

Knowing what to watch out for (your early warning signs) and what you can do at an earlier stage can keep you out of hospital
Ask your doctor or nurse for an action plan and keep it somewhere safe so you and your family know what to do
