MSP Highlights 'Ask You Pharmacist' Week

Banffshire & Buchan Coast MSP Stewart Stevenson is highlighting the importance of Ask Your Pharmacist Week, which takes place from 5^th – 12^th November.

Commenting, Mr Stevenson said:

“I applaud and support this significant initiative and the theme of engaging men who should be encouraged to take a more active interest in their medicines.

“It has to be noted that community pharmacists are uniquely accessible healthcare professionals that offer real value and should never be underestimated by customers and patients. 

“We must remember that in some pharmacies – health checks are offered and these should be utilised as in some cases this cuts out the need for patients to visit their local GP.
