What a day! We recently hosted our 4th Community Health & Wellness Day, and this time we took over Eastbourne Borough FC.
From ear checks and mental health support to hands-on first aid advice, the venue was filled with interactive stalls, all dedicated to making everyday healthcare more accessible for our Eastbourne community. Here’s a look back at the highlights…
Free Health Checks
We know first hand just how busy life can get and often simple health checks can get overlooked. That’s why we always prioritise free blood pressure checks and give our community direct, easy access to our pharmacy team for any health queries they might have. As an NHS-regulated pharmacy, encouraging preventative health is at the core of everything we do.
