Pharmacy health checks were on offer at the national youth eisteddfod in Carmarthen on 1 June 2007, courtesy of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's Welsh Pharmacy Board.
As part of a collaboration with the Welsh Assembly Government, board
member Richard Evans was on hand to offer advice on healthy living. He
provided a full lifestyle check to more than 50 visitors.
Mr Evans said: “Once again the health checks proved to be hugely
popular. Many of the visitors to the stand were aware they needed to
improve their lifestyle and that pharmacists are ideally placed to provide
advice and support on healthy living.”
Cath Savage, the Society’s Director for Wales, said: “Events
such as these provide an ideal opportunity for us to raise the profile
of the pharmacy profession in Wales with members of the public and ensure
we are getting our message across. In the past the feedback has been
so positive that participation in events across Wales is now an integral
part of our ongoing communications strategy.” |
