A campaign has been launched by the NHS covering Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland to build people’s confidence in preventing and treating minor illnesses themselves during Self-Care Week.
The campaign, which runs from 13th to 19th November 2017, brings together a full range of videos and information into one place so that patients are better equipped to take control of their own health for life.
Self-Care Week, which forms part of the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland winter plan, will feature a different topic on each day to break down the advice given into manageable chunks.
The campaign is being widely promoted across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland and will bring together videos and information on each topic on the website www.staywell-llr.org.uk. People can also follow the campaign on Twitter @StayWellLLR.
