My friend who's an artist is doing a sketch every day for a month to raise money for organisations helping LGBT+ people from Ukraine. All her pictures are amazing but today's from the butterfly house @HornimanMuseum is particularly beautiful.

@SelfCareForum Thanks for organising the chat - fantastic questions! It was great to take part and to see all the replies and contributions. #SCWchat#selfcareweek
@SelfCareForum A6) I think it’s about reframing the discussion to be about enabling people to have the same choice and control over their health as they do in other aspects of their lives and about supporting people to be active partners in their health and wellbeing. #SCWchat#selfcareweek
@SelfCareForum A5) Speaking for myself and having type 1 diabetes, my pharmacy is incredibly important to me. The pharmacists and everyone who works at my regular pharmacy near London Bridge are absolutely brilliant! #SCWchat#selfcareweek
@SelfCareForum A3) Apps can be hugely helpful. It's important that they are part of a range of support available to people alongside things like self – management education, peer support and health coaching and that people have choice about what support works best for them. #SCWchat
@SelfCareForum @NHSCCPress @JamieWaterall @gaynor_leech @NPA1921@BenedictKnox A2) We know that when people play an active role in their health they tend to have better health outcomes so there is an opportunity to build on some of the great work that has been started during the pandemic to continue supporting people with self care. #SCWchat#selfcareweek
