Self-care helps you to stay as healthy and as independent as you can. It’s about making small lifestyle changes that can have a big effect on your wellbeing.
Self-care can be as simple as calling a friend for a chat, doing a bit of exercise or joining a lunch club. It is also about managing any conditions you have in a way that puts you in control and improves your quality of life.
Looking after yourself means knowing how to keep fit and healthy, how to deal with medicines appropriately, manage self-treatable conditions and when to seek appropriate clinical help. There’s a lot of information on our Health & Wellbeing Hub that will help you manage your physical and mental wellbeing, such as exercise videos, how to stop smoking, eat more healthily or sleep better.
Remember you can also get advice from your local pharmacist for lots of health issues, and there’s no need for an appointment.
