National Self Care Week

It's national Self Care week next week and locally as two CCGs we have lots of activity planned to support this and to give our local population the confidence and skills they need to be able to self-care this Winter.

As Dr Annabel London, GP and Primary Care Lead for NHS South Cheshire CCG and NHS Vale Royal CCG said: "Knowing about self-care means that when you start to get those early symptoms of minor conditions like coughs, colds and sore throats, you can start tackling it straight away.

"You don't need to wait to book an appointment to then be sent to your pharmacist, you can start getting sooner, quicker, using the over-the-counter medicines you've got in your cabinet."

How you can help

We'd really like your help and support with our self care week activities and our overall self care messaging.

Please check our website for a full planner of activities but you can meet us at the Lord Combermere at the Friday morning coffee club where we will be giving out Self Care information!
