Project Description
Michelle Riddalls, PAGB CEO
Self care is a vital part of our health system. It has the potential to reduce health inequalities, improve outcomes and protect NHS resources for those who need them most.
However, too often it goes unrecognised by policymakers.
A national self care strategy, as envisaged in this blueprint drawn up by a broad range of healthcare and pharmacy organisations, would bring significant benefits for individuals as well as on the NHS as a whole.
We look forward to working further with stakeholders and the Government towards this goal.
