Free Resources from Self Care Forum
Self-care now forms an increasing part of national NHS and government policy. Improving and increasing the ability for individuals to look after themselves better at all stages of life and help prevent avoidable diseases.
Resources and campaigns available at the Self Care Forum aim to further the reach of self-care and embed it into everyday life, creating a self-driven movement and evolutionary shift towards being more informed and empowered to look after your and your family’s health.
Self Care Forum aims to change the attitudes and behaviours of patients, practitioners and the general public and support the rational use of products and services to improve health and wellbeing whilst reducing pressure on the health service. The forum aims to achieve this by:
- Creating practical, evidence-based resources for individuals, practitioners and organisations
- Running national self-care campaigns and influencing national – and international – policy
- Supporting the generation of robust research evidence around self-care and health literacy
- Collaborating with academic partners to advocate for – and set – the national research and development (R&D) agenda for self-care in the context of the wider health economy
