Noble's Hospital exhibition for National Self Care Week

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

It's national Self Care week and Manx health workers are keen to raise awareness of the initiative.

 

There's a display in the foyer of Noble's hospital with information and leaflets available to the public.

Self Care covers a wide range of suggestions, from cleaning your teeth to avoid tooth decay to empowering people during more serious life-long illnesses.

 

Norman Kneen is a patient and public representative on the steering group for the Island's health strategy.

He suffers from a long term illness and says he sees the real benefits of educating people on the importance of self-care.
