Self care is a fundamental component of the NHS 10 year plan. To mark Self Care Week 2025, we are hosting an event highlighting how health information supports effective self care and self management.
The webinar will include an exploration of the latest research into self care and examples of good practice from the PIF membership. Projects shared include the creation of an app to support the health and wellbeing of farmers and a service allowing healthcare professionals to signpost directly to trusted, personalised charity information and support.
