Annual Review 2009: Celebrating 90 years of self care
The 2009 review celebrates PAGB's 90th anniversary, looking at how self care as evolved over the past 90 years and where it is going in the future.
When PAGB was founded in 1919 the NHS did not exist and people had to take responsibility for their own healthcare. Since then, people’s use of the NHS has exploded. The NHS is heading for a financial black hole from 2011 and encouraging responsible self care is more important than ever.

Annual Review 2008: Unlocking Self Care
The 2008 review focuses on the implications of the groundbreaking research on the quantification of minor ailment workload in general practice, which was commissioned by PAGB and undertaken by IMS Health last year. This research was used as the evidence-base for proposals made in the joint PAGB / PSNC submission to the Pharmacy White Paper consultation, which has now been published and recognises PAGB’s vision that pharmacy should be the first port of call for minor ailments.
In a series of interviews, representatives from IMS Health, RCGP, RPSGB, Fishburn Hedges, MHRA and the Better Regulation Executive, are asked their views on the benefits of shifting minor ailment workload from the GP to the pharmacist, and the best way of doing this.
