About this event
The theme for 2026 is “Mind and Body”
National Self-Care Week is an annual UK-wide national awareness week that focuses on embedding support for self-care across communities, families and generations. Founded in 2011, it was originally used mostly by health organisations to communicate health messages to their audiences, but recently a growing, diverse community has recognised the benefits of participating in Self-Care Week.
In addition to helping people look after their own health, Self-Care Week is also used to promote better use of the NHS by signposting people to the right service relevant to their health needs – in particular, signposting people to pharmacy for accessible health care and advice.

Organisations are encouraged to use Self-Care Week as a hook to help people practise self care for a healthier, happier life.
