It’s International Self-Care Day and we caught up with our Head of People UK, Hanna Mansell who gave her reflections on self-care:
“Today, on International Self-Care Day, we pause to reflect on the importance of looking after the one person we rely on most - ourselves.
At Pharmaxo and Cancer Centre London, we are privileged to care for others every day - patients, families, and one another. But compassionate care starts with self-compassion.
Whether you are a nurse on the move, a consultant or clinician, a manufacturer, PPO or Quality behind the scenes, driving a corporate service, or a leader paving the way, your wellbeing matters.
Self-care isn’t selfish - it’s essential. It is in the small pauses we take, the boundaries we honour, and the moments we reclaim for rest and reflection.
Within our workplaces we are committed to nurturing a culture where self-care is not an afterthought, but a practice we actively support. Because when we care for ourselves, we show up better for those who depend on us.
To our entire team: Thank you for the care you give - to our patients and to each other.”
How will you prioritise your self-care today, whether at work or at home? Let us know in the comments.
