National Self Care Week 2025: “Your Health, Your Way”

National Self Care Week (17–23 November 2025) is a nationwide initiative to help everyone take charge of their health and wellbeing. This year’s theme — “Your Health, Your Way” — encourages people to make small, positive changes that support their physical and mental health every day.

Self care is about understanding when you can look after yourself, when you need a bit of help, and when it’s best to seek advice from a healthcare professional. Whether it’s eating well, staying active, getting enough rest, managing stress, or keeping up with regular check-ups, every step makes a difference.

Throughout the week, NHS teams and community partners will be sharing practical tips, local support options, and resources to help you stay well and confident in managing your own health.

Find out more about how you can get involved and take steps towards a healthier you this Self Care Week.

Would you like me to tailor it for a specific NHS organisation or trust (e.g., local NHS trust website or NHS England)? That would help me adjust tone and content accordingly.

How to Get Weight Loss Medication Through Your GP
If you’re struggling to lose weight despite making healthy lifestyle changes, your GP can help you explore safe and effective medical options. During your appointment, your doctor will review your health history, current medications, and weight management efforts. They may check your BMI and screen for conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Your GP can refer you to a specialist service for further support. Always consult your doctor before starting any new medication—your GP can help you find the most suitable and sustainable approach for your health goals.

Get Weight Loss Medication Through Your GP
