Change of image revealed for PHS

The Pharmacy Healthcare Scheme has changed its name to PharmacyHealthLink.

The change came into effect on 6 February and is part of a review of the charity's aims, infrastructure and priorities in order to reflect major changes in the United Kingdom's public health and health promotion policies.

It intends to become more proactive in influencing policy and to work closely with opinion formers in Government and other health organisations.

Professor Sian Griffiths, president of the Faculty of Public Health Medicine, has been appointed chairman of the charity. PharmacyHealthLink will still provide health leaflets to the public via community pharmacies. Leaflets can be obtained on 020 7572 2265 (e-mail pharmacyhealthlink@rspgb.org.uk).
