Testing time in Wakefield when Minister visits Moss

Minister of State for Health Rosie Winterton visited a Moss Pharmacy in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, last week. During the visit she had her blood pressure measured.

The branch at 82 Upper Warrengate has been part of the Moss chain since August 2000 and is managed by Irene Gummerson, a pharmacist with a special interest in diabetes. During her visit, Ms Winterton was told about the diabetes care service run by the pharmacy and its smoking cessation clinics.

The visit was also attended by the President of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, Dr Gill Hawksworth, and Moss superintendent pharmacist Tricia Kennerley.
