Health & Wellbeing Hub: National Wellness Month
National Wellness Month is an annual observance every August that encourages small, consistent habits over big one-off changes. This hub brings together expert clinical guidance across three areas that quietly shape everyday wellbeing:
- Self-care
- Stress reduction
- Healthy habits — sleep, movement and more

Find out how small, consistent changes to sleep, movement and stress can add up to a real difference — with GP support available the same day.

National Wellness Month: Looking After Yourself, One Habit at a Time
National Wellness Month runs every August and focuses on three areas: self-care, stress reduction and healthy habits. This clinician-informed guide breaks down all three, with practical starting points for sleep, movement, hydration and setting boundaries — plus a simple month-long challenge to help new habits actually stick.

Muscle Aches, Pains & Back Health with GP Kevin Yee
Everyday back pain is usually caused by muscle tension and poor movement habits, not serious injury. In this Clinician Corner video, GP Kevin Yee explains what's really behind everyday aches and stiffness, the movement habits that help protect your back, and when it's worth having a same-day conversation with a GP or physiotherapist.
Movement Doesn't Need to Mean the Gym
The NHS recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate activity a week — just over 20 minutes a day. This poster is a quick, shareable reminder that movement doesn't have to be all-or-nothing: short bursts spread across the week still count.
Tired, Even After a Full Night's Sleep?
Most adults need 7–9 hours of sleep a night, but quality matters just as much as quantity. This poster highlights the signs that poor sleep may be affecting concentration, mood and long-term health — and encourages people to get it checked rather than push through.
Stress Doesn't Just Live in Your Head
Stress affects the body as much as the mind — sleep, digestion, blood pressure and mood can all be affected long before it feels unmanageable. This poster is a reminder that talking it through early, even briefly, can stop small stress becoming a bigger problem.
Staying Hydrated This Summer with GP Kevin Yee
Adults should drink at least two litres of water a day, more in hot weather or during exercise. In this Clinician Corner video, GP Kevin Yee explains why hydration is one of the most overlooked parts of summer wellbeing — how it affects headaches, kidney health and tiredness, why children are especially vulnerable to dehydration, and simple ways to build it into a daily habit, from hydrating foods like watermelon and cucumber to why that extra coffee might be working against you.
