This winter, NHS England and Public Health England are helping the public to better understand what actions they can take to manage their own health and get the best out of their NHS with the ‘Help Us, Help You’ campaign.
New research from a survey of 2,000 UK adults (Kantar Public, October) has revealed that 8 out of 10 people believe they are responsible for keeping themselves healthy and a further 9 in 10 agree that they could help the NHS by taking NHS advice on how to stay well and making sure as a patient, they use the right services.
During the winter months, ‘Help Us, Help You’ will highlight that by following the expert advice of NHS staff, the public can take the right steps to stay well, prevent an illness getting worse, or get well again sooner.
To tell us more about the campaign we were joined by Dr Dawn Harper, known for Channel Four's Embarrassing Bodies.
