Can I add these days to my own calendar?
Yes. Each day has an Add to calendar button, and you can subscribe to a whole speciality's days in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook from the subscribe links on this page. The feed updates itself when we add or correct a date.
Can a doctor post on health awareness days?
Yes. Health education is allowed under the NMC's guidelines of 6 October 2026, as long as the post teaches rather than promotes your practice. Show your name, qualifications and registration number on the post, and leave out testimonials, superlatives, offers and drug names for diseases where the law restricts advertising.
