Why self-care matters

Self-care results in a more appropriate and cost-effective use of public healthcare. In fact, it already accounts for around 80% of all care in the UK1. As the weight of a growing and ageing population bears down on the NHS, self-care is increasingly becoming a focus for the UK government and health policy-makers.

It is estimated that:

  • 57 million GP consultations every year could be treated with self-care and OTC products2
  • £1.5bn could be saved and re-invested into the NHS if more people had the tools and awareness to self-care effectively3

Proud to be members of the PAGB

The NHS Long Term Plan4 is an ambitious yet realistic framework to ensure that in 10 years’ time the UK has a service fit for the future. In response, the Proprietary Association of Great Britain (PAGB) has called for a national strategy with the overall aim of creating, promoting and embedding a culture of self-care.
