CPW board member provides lifestyle advice for Eisteddfod festival attendees

Richard Evans, a community pharmacist and Community Pharmacy Wales board member, provided healthy lifestyle advice to over 60 people at Eisteddfod, the annual Welsh cultural festival, held in Mold, north-east Wales, last week.

Mr Evans was on the Welsh Assembly Government stand promoting pharmacists’ role in advising on healthy living. A district nurse, Llio Glyn Griffiths from Dolgellau, measured visitors’ blood pressure and height before passing them on to Mr Evans to be weighed and receive lifestyle advice.

Any smokers encountered, were referred to the All Wales Smoking Cessation Service, also on the WAG stand.
