Self care

"As doctors, we encourage people every day to care for themselves: exercise more, eat the right things, drink less alcohol, quit smoking, get enough sleep, have a holiday, make time with friends and develop interests outside work. We also care for people when these things start to unravel. This unravelling usually starts with a single thread that comes loose but, if left unattended, can progress to involve the whole garment of our lives. Do you have any loose threads in your life?"

Greening General Practice

The Greening General Practice toolkit has been developed to help general practitioners (GPs), nurses and practice managers make environmentally responsible changes where possible in the day-to-day running of their practice. It is designed to make these changes as easy as possible and aims for changes that are at least cost neutral.
