CPLSC have been liaising with Healthy Homes and Memory Matters and have been provided with some leaflets to share amongst your patients.

Health Campaigns
As part of the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework, each year pharmacies are required participate in up to six campaigns at the request of NHS England.
Previously, these campaigns were determined at a local level by NHS England teams, however PSNC has agreed with NHS England to set these campaigns 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 NHS England’s operational and public health priorities, such as winter pressures, smoking, obesity and alcohol.
