As organisations across the UK begin 2026, Dry January returns as a powerful reset for health, reflection, and sustainable behaviour change. Led by Alcohol Change UK, Dry January 2026 encourages people to go alcohol-free for the month, not as a test of willpower, but as an opportunity to pause, reassess habits, and prioritise well-being after the festive period. For regulated sectors such as health and social care, education, transport, and workplaces, the campaign has wider relevance: alcohol awareness is closely linked to safety, performance, safeguarding, and professional standards. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores what Dry January 2026 means beyond individual choice, and how organisations can support healthier cultures by embedding well-being initiatives into governance, workforce training, and compliance systems through ComplyPlus™.

On 24 July 2025, organisations worldwide mark World Self-Care Day under the theme “Self-Care is Healthcare,” reinforcing that well-being is not optional but essential. For regulated sectors such as health and social care, education, and public services, self-care extends beyond personal habits into organisational responsibility. Rising burnout, workforce pressure, and regulatory scrutiny make it clear that embedding self-care into policies, training, and culture directly supports compliance, safety, and resilience. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores why World Self-Care Day 2025 matters for regulated organisations and how integrating self-care into governance frameworks can strengthen staff well-being, improve outcomes, and build sustainable, inspection-ready services through ComplyPlus™.
