Working in pharmacy means caring for others, often while juggling busy workloads, workplace pressures and responsibilities outside work. With so much to manage, it can be easy to put your own wellbeing last.
That’s why our Pharmacist ACTNow wellbeing campaign (sponsored through partnership with the PDA and Orion Pharma (UK) Ltd.) is back from Monday 2nd to Sunday 15th November 2026, encouraging pharmacists and pharmacy teams across all settings to take positive action for their mental health and wellbeing.
Whether you’re looking for ways to manage your own wellbeing or create a more supportive workplace, ACTNow offers practical help to get you started.
This year’s campaign brings together:
to help you prioritise your mental health, support your colleagues and make wellbeing part of everyday working life. During the campaign, we’re also launching our brand new Essential Eight: Your Script for Wellbeing (an initiative built on the foundations of the New Economic Foundation’s Five Ways to Wellbeing) to support people with eight evidence-based key areas of wellbeing: Connect, Be active, Be present, Keep learning, Give, Sleep well, Eat well and Build financial wellbeing.
In addition, ACTNow participants will be able to hear about how our Embracing a Workplace Wellbeing Culture course has evolved to encourage and help employers to deliver meaningful mental health and wellbeing support in the workplace through our new employer scheme.
“Pharmacists and their teams spend so much time caring for others that their own wellbeing can easily take a back seat,” says Melissa Cochrane, Wellbeing Development Senior Manager at Pharmacist Support. “ACTNow is a reminder that their wellbeing matters, too. We want to give individuals and teams practical ways to take action, support one another and build healthier working environments.”
The ACTNow campaign was very useful in supporting me to focus on my wellbeing. The clear, simple messages and regular prompts helped me make time for myself, check in with my emotions and take small actions that made a real difference.”2025 ACTNow participant
