Public Health Campaigns 2018-19

You will be aware that the Public Health England directed campaigns for 2018-19 are shown below and
all pharmacies will be getting a letter from the local NHS Team reminding them of this very shortly.
Remember, these campaigns are in addition to any campaign your own company has asked you to
participate in.

Quarter 1 (April to June)

Cardiovascular (Diabetes, Stroke, Hypertension) No specific guidance or show material came out about
what to focus on, when. However w/c 11th June is National Diabetes Week, and this is a great
opportunity to run a diabetes campaign in the quarter. Diabetes. Org.uk has plenty of good, free
material on their website. Search for either Healthcare Professional or Booklets.

Quarter 2 (July to September) Mental Health.

Again, there is no specific guidance on which aspect of mental health we will be asked to focus on, but
the websites below can provide free leaflets and booklets on Dementia. As most of our staff are
Dementia Friends, it makes sense to reinforce that with a focus on Dementia. World Dementia
Awareness month is September so you may want to plan activity for this, or late August for 4 weeks to
avoid the start of the flu season.

Quarter 3 (October to December) Respiratory with World COPD Day.

Quarter 4 (January to March) Alcohol Awareness - Dry January

2 National Campaigns - which we are still waiting details on.

If you have yet to plan for your Quarter 1 campaign, and wish to order leaflets from Diabetes UK, I
would order quickly as stocks are limited.

As always you will need to provide feedback through the Public Health module on PharmOutcomes.

A paper record chart for use on the Chemist Counter is also available to download from the LPC website

One of the key abilities for our team to support Public Health Campaigns, and is a requirement for HLP
accredited pharmacies, is to be able to start off conversations with patients. Many of you will have
attended Making Every Contact Count training. This is now also available online at

https://www.e-lfh.org.uk/programmes/making-every-contact-count/

You need to register first before you can access any course content.

As more information on the 6 campaigns becomes available, we will update you.
