Pharmacist Support understands that it can be difficult to find time to prioritise wellbeing, especially with studying, revision, and exams. The student ACTNow wellbeing campaign focuses on helping pharmacy students feel mentally prepared for their exams, get ready for their trainee pharmacist year, and put everyday wellbeing into practice.
As part of the campaign, which is taking place on University Mental Health Day, Pharmacist Support will be releasing free resources, guidance, and support that pharmacy students who sign up to the ACTNow wellbeing campaign can take advantage of and benefit from.
The ACTNow campaign encourages pharmacy students to:
- Allow time for wellbeing
- Consider the needs of others
- Take action.

More about Pharmacist Support
Pharmacist Support is an independent charity providing a wide variety of free and confidential support services to those working and studying in pharmacy. They are proud to be able to support people from such a caring profession and each year provide thousands of acts of support. Their mission is for no one in pharmacy to face challenging times without them by their side.
The PDA donates £1 per member per year to the charity and also enables pharmacists to also donate as part of their joining or renewal of PDA membership. This has provided more than £200,000 to the charity since the PDA began the arrangement in 2017.
What is wellbeing?
Wellbeing is the state of having good mental health, high life satisfaction, a sense of meaning or purpose, and the ability to manage stress. It’s important to realise that wellbeing is a much deeper concept than moment-to-moment happiness, and everyone must invest in it in order to have sustained happiness, control of emotions, higher productivity, and good physical health.
