Watford MP visited a pharmacy last week to honour Ask Your Pharmacist Week.
Dean Russell attended Abbots Park Pharmacy in Leavesden on Tuesday, November 2, to highlight the contributions which the service gives to the wider community and public health.He spent the visit finding out about the “pharmacies of tomorrow” vision, which has been commissioned by Community Pharmacy England to share how the role could be expanded over the next decade.
Mr Russell said: "Community pharmacies are the backbone of our local community’s health and wellbeing. They are often the first point of contact for many individuals seeking health advice and medical services and all work hard to keep people well across the town.“During the winter period, community pharmacies are even more critical as they offer services such as flu jabs to eligible recipients.
Ask Your Pharmacist Week is an annual awareness campaign in the UK and was between October 30 and November 6 this year. Girish Mehta, managing director of Chemilab Pharmacy, added: “Community pharmacies are the most accessible healthcare locations offering convenient access to medicines and a range of services without the need for an appointment.”We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
