Self Care Week

Please do not use these social media assets prior to Self Care Week – 15 November.

Press Releases

Ideally, you want to reach as many people as possible with your Self Care Week messages and it can be helpful to approach your local media (press and broadcast) with news about your activities. You might like to do this by sending a press release including a quote from a local pharmacist, nurse, GP,  councillor, mayor, MP or another personality in the local area.  If you would like a quote from our Self Care Forum chair, or president, do get in touch. 

 

Below are resources that can be used as part of your Self Care Week activities or outside Self Care Week.  

Poster: Can the Pharmacist help with your symptoms?

Here is a poster signposting to the pharmacist for twelve common ailments that people often visit the GP with.  Corresponding fact sheets are also available for each of the 12 ailments and can be used during interactions to support people to self care.
