Consumer attitudes to self-care
Every year PAGB undertakes a survey to understand consumer attitudes and confidence to self-care. The data from the survey is used to inform our self-care report and this year our survey results will be published on International Self-Care Day, 24 July.
Conducting this yearly census to uncover consumer trends in self-treatable conditions, attitudes to self-care, and healthcare access provides us with valuable information and insights into how self-care can be integrated into the recovery of primary care in a real way that resonates with consumers.
The report highlights the real-world data that makes the case for prioritising self-care and identifies the benefits it can provide by reducing demand on the NHS, reducing health inequalities among the public, and empowering people to take ownership of their own health.
