This is a good time to raise awareness of what people can be doing

to take care of themselves better, particularly those with long-term

conditions. The time leading up to the winter months can prepare

and inform the whole population at a time when seasonal illness

tends be more prolific. The Week fits with existing national

initiatives, including the National Pharmacy Association’s ‘Ask your

Pharmacist Week’ (4 -11 Nov) and the European Antibiotic Awareness

Day (18 Nov), which makes the link with self care support for colds

and flu.
