The free Healthier You NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme provides guidance on eating healthily, managing weight and being more active. It is a sustained lifestyle change programme, delivered locally, in local settings. Although the programme is normally delivered in groups at different times and locations, right now it’s offered over telephone or group video conference, or online through apps and websites. Materials in this campaign area have been designed to help you communicate with people who are at high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and therefore eligible for the programme, and with healthcare professionals who can refer into the programme.

NHS England's ‘Help Us, Help You’ campaign - ‘Lung Cancer Symptoms’ re-launches on 1 August 2022. The activity is a re-running of the the lung cancer campaign from last year with slightly updated creative assets.

We’re delighted to announce that our annual mass participation stop smoking campaign, Stoptober, is back this October! Now in its 11th year, Stoptober is a great opportunity to encourage smokers to make a quit attempt and help them sustain it throughout October and beyond. This year’s campaign will reach smokers through a range of media including radio, video on demand and out-of-home display; with an emphasis on targeting smokers aged 25 to 50 from lower socio-economic groups who work in routine and manual jobs. The messaging of the campaign will be ‘You’ve got what it takes to quit this Stoptober’; encouraging smokers to quit not only by promoting the benefits of quitting, but also to give them confidence that they can quit successfully.

Stopping smoking is one of the best things you will ever do for your health. When you stop, you give your lungs the chance to repair and you will be able to breathe easier. There are lots of other benefits too – and they start almost immediately. It's never too late to quit. Let's do this!
