SELF CARE WEEK 2015
That this House welcomes the national awareness campaign Self Care Week, from 16 to 22 November 2015, which encourages people to Self Care For Life; notes the aim of highlighting how people can better look after their own physical health and mental wellbeing, and the steps that can be taken to help prevent avoidable conditions; recognises that self care is imperative for a healthy life and a sustainable NHS; regrets that many people remain confused about when to use A&E and GP services, and do not realise the wealth of health advice and treatments available from pharmacists; acknowledges the importance of signposting people to the most appropriate service for their symptoms; encourages hon. Members, staff and constituents to consult and promote the NHS Choices website which has advice to help people take care of their own health; and congratulates the Self Care Forum for organising Self Care Week and raising awareness of self care and its benefits.
