Mandatory Health Campaigns

Remaining 2021/22 mandatory health campaigns agreed

UPDATE 6th January 2022: New dates have been announced for the weight management and smoking cessation campaigns.

UPDATE 20th December 2021: Please note, that the start of the weight management campaign has been delayed. When a new delivery date for the weight management campaign resource packs has been confirmed, a further update will be provided on the new campaign period. This may also affect the start date of the smoking cessation campaign.

PSNC and NHS England and NHS Improvement have agreed the remaining 2021/22 health campaigns, which community pharmacy contractors must participate in as part of their NHS contractual requirements.

Health campaign topic	Campaign period
Winter vaccines	22nd November to 31st December 2021
Weight management	4th January to 31st January 2022
Smoking cessation	21st February to 31st March 2022

This means that for 2021/22 there will be four mandatory health campaigns that contractors must participate in (in May 2021, contractors were asked to participate in a COVID-19 vaccination campaign, focused on informing the public about the vaccine and encouraging them to take it up when was offered to them).
