Self Care Week will be running from 15-21 November 2021. Self care is improving and increasing the ability for individuals to better look after themselves and prevent avoidable diseases.

Self Care Week is an annual awareness campaign that will be running again this year, from 15-21 November 2021. It focuses on embedding support for self care across communities, families and generations.

The Self Care Forum produces free self care resources which aim to help clinicians and patients discuss self care for their condition and how to manage their symptoms in the future. In particular the forum has produced a number of fact sheets for common medical conditions. The fact sheets include information about the condition such as the prognosis, how patients can help themselves manage their symptoms now and in the future, red flag signs, and sources of further information.

Contact the Self Care Forum to get involved and visit their web page below to look for their new self care Fact Sheets.
