Mr Jim Bevington, MRPharmS, recently held three parties in one day to mark his retirement. The first was for customers at Bevington Chemist and Health Food (formerly Elmore Pharmacy) at Lee-on-the-Solent, Hampshire, which he has owned for the past 26 years. Customers were entertained by a jazz band. A meal was held for present and former members of staff of the pharmacy, which is now owned by Moss Pharmacy. This was followed by a reception for local health care workers and businesses that had been involved with the pharmacy.
