Self-Care Tip of the Week

NHS North Yorkshire CCG is rolling out a Self-Care Tip of the Week campaign from 6 June.

The focus of the campaign is on short-term, minor ailments that can be treated with over-the-counter solutions from local pharmacies.

Our aim is to increase awareness of the expertise within community pharmacy and the availability of over-the-counter medicines.

The campaign will feature different weekly messages covering a range of self-care topics, from hay fever to dandruff.

Developing the campaign messages

The CCG's communications and engagement team has been working closely with CCG and Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership colleagues to identify topics and key messages.

We've reached out to self-care champions within GP practices in North Yorkshire and have sought the views of Patient Partners.

The CCG is also grateful to Community Pharmacy North Yorkshire (CPNY) for helping us frame the important messages around self-care.
