This communications pack provides information, promotional material, and key messages to help your organisation support Self Care Week.

Self Care Week aims to raise awareness of the information and resources available to help the public and especially those with a long term condition take control of their own health and wellbeing.

The pack should be used in conjunction with ‘Your health, your way, a guide to long term conditions and self care’, communications toolkit.  (see link attached below)

Please circulate this information to colleagues to help us promote Self Care Week and to ensure we get the word out. Just posting the buttons and banner will let people know that you are supporting Self Care Week.

If you require further information or guidance on getting the best from these resources, please get in touch

Use these buttons and banner on websites, intranet pages, or as an email signature. From midnight on 6 November 09 you will be able to use the button and banner as a web link to the new refreshed 'Your health, your way' website.

The buttons and banner can be resized if need be - please contact us:

These posters can be easily printed from a computer and displayed in GP surgeries, hospital waiting rooms, canteens.
