National Self-Care Week 18-24 November 2024

National Self-Care Week (18-24 November 2024) is organised by the charity Self-Care Forum and aims to promote better understanding of physical and mental wellbeing by encouraging healthcare professionals to promote self-care practices and educate the public on preventive health measures.

Pharmacies are uniquely positioned to support self-care, providing advice on managing common ailments, medication adherence and lifestyle changes. During National Self-Care Week, pharmacies can use Self-Care Forum’s resources for the following activities:

– Host health promotion events and workshops
– Provide educational materials on self-care practices
– Offer free health checks and consultations
– Collaborate with local health organisations to amplify self-care messages
