Looking after yourself & staying healthy
While you are in care, you should be registered with a doctor, a dentist and an optician. It's really important once you leave care to stay registered with a doctor - keep the same one if you can and make sure you go for regular check ups on your teeth and eyesight.
The Who Cares Trust , a national organisation for young people in care, have developed a good booklet called 'Who Cares About Health'. This contains all sorts of useful information and leaflets about health issues.
There are many different places you can go for health advice:
General Health
- Your doctor - find a doctor
- A pharmacist
- Well woman or well man Clinics
- NHS Direct
