Self-care refers to the capacity of people/patients to take care of themselves. It represents the ability to take measures to manage, establish and maintain one’s own health. CPME supports responsible self-care and recognises its important role in healthcare systems.

CPME is therefore an observer member in the Self-care Initiative Europe (SCiE). Previously, CPME has engaged in other European self-care projects such as PiSCE and PRO-STEP.

Adopted CPME policies include:
