About this event
National Self Care Week is an annual UK-wide national awareness week that focuses on embedding support for self-care across communities, families and generations. Founded in 2011, it was originally used mostly by health organisations to communicate health messages to their audiences, but recently a growing, diverse community has recognised the benefits of participating in Self Care Week.
In addition to helping people look after their own health, Self Care Week is also used to promote better use of the NHS by signposting people to the right service relevant to their health needs – in particular, signposting people to pharmacy for accessible health care and advice.

The theme in 2023 is “Mind and Body” and organisations are encouraged to use Self Care Week as a hook to help people practise self care for a healthier, happier life.
