NHS England health promotion campaigns

NHS England health promotion campaigns

Pharmacies are required to participate in up to six health campaigns at the request of NHS England. This generally involves the display and distribution of leaflets provided by NHSE.

In addition, pharmacies are required to undertake prescription-linked interventions on major areas of public health concern, such as encouraging smoking cessation.

Mandatory health campaign topics

CPE has agreed with NHSE to set the six campaign topics at a national level so that all community pharmacy contractors participate in the same campaigns, thus having a greater exposure to the target groups.

It has been agreed that the campaign topics should, wherever possible, support NHSE operational and public health priorities, such as winter pressures, smoking, obesity and alcohol.

Campaign topics

Once the topics are agreed by NHSE and CPE they will be published here.

Campaign Resource Centre: The Campaign Resource Centre brings together information for partners on all marketing campaigns. Community pharmacy teams can download or order materials from this website free of charge.

DHSC / Public Health England / NHS England leaflets: some publications for nationally funded public health campaigns are available to order online from the Health and Social Care Publications Order line or by calling 0300 123 1002.

Additional campaigns may be sent out from other parties, such as local public health teams, and where possible we encourage contractors  to support these local campaigns.
