Men’s health promotion window display competition kicks off

Pharmacy staff have been invited to take part in a competition aimed at promoting men’s health. For the second year running, Developing Patient Partnerships and the Men’s Health Forum are looking for the most creative window display that encourages men to come into the pharmacy for advice and information about their health and weight.

The competition forms part of national men’s health week (13–19 June), which this year focuses on obesity. The winner of the competition, called “Men’s health — a weighty issue”, will receive £800.

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society is running a media campaign to support the competition and will also be involved in the judging.

Entrants should send a photograph of their window display and their store details to Marianne McGlynn, Developing Patient Partnerships, Tavistock House, Tavistock Square, London WC1H 9JP, or e-mail a digital picture to mmglynn@dpp.org.uk. The closing date is 29 July.
