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.
