Meeting your everyday healthcare needs

Everyday healthcare describes the things that we all do as part of our daily lives to stay healthy, well, and reduce the risk of a serious health need developing.

For example:

• Oral hygiene-cleaning teeth and dentist visits;

• Eye tests;

• Hearing tests;

• Sexual health (e.g., contraception, testing);

• Screening (e.g., cervical, breast, bowel);

• Annual health checks and vaccinations;

• Taking prescription medication;

• Weight management;

• Footcare and nail care;

• Eating a healthy, balanced diet;

• Showering and bathing;

• Seeking advice from a GP when needed.

By obtaining and following the right advice and using the right products we can promote our health and wellbeing and enjoy more the things that matter.
