Bob Morris gave a really interesting presentation to the group on Wednesday. Entitled ‘All you need to know about drugs – Mostly the legal ones‘ it gave an insight into pharmacy operations in simple ‘lay persons’ language.
Various topics were covered including: looking after yourself, health literacy, pharmacy speak, the British National Formulary and drug ‘side effects’.
The BNF was particularly of note as it gives anyone the opportunity to examine prescription drug data online.
The public awareness campaign – National Pharmacy week ,
‘Ask Your Pharmacist’ this year will be on 31 October – 7 November.
Well done Bob

On our recent ‘Kynren’ holiday we saw Covid rear its head again and since our return one of the passengers has confirmed she has tested positive for Covid.
Although we took sensible precautions on board the coach, this illness persists in catching us out so I would ask all who travelled on the holiday to be mindful of their health at this time.
