The local area teams will usually decide which health topics will benefit the local population and these must be implemented in pharmacy.  Some teams may distribute packs containing posters whereas some may signpost to resources available. Check with your Local Pharmaceutical Committee (LPC) to find out which campaigns will be running in your area.

Numark have a guide of alternative annual events which could be used outside of the national and local campaigns. Try to ensure when planning these events, they match local health inequalities, for example, if there is a high prevalence of diabetes in the area, a campaign can be driven to raise awareness with a possible link into services.  Take a look at the annual awareness dates by clicking here.

This page will list numerous ‘Briefing sheets’ which will provide pharmacies with the tools to plan and run their health promotion in relation to a health topic.
