We recently hosted our Spooktacular Health Day at Grosvenor Park Care Home in
Bexhill, bringing the community together for a fantastic day focused on health and
wellbeing.
The day followed the same community-focused format as our previous health days,
but with a spooky Halloween twist!
Our Coda Pharmacy team were on hand throughout the day, offering free blood
pressure checks, pharmacy advice and free NHS flu vaccinations for those eligible.
We were also joined by a fantastic line-up of local businesses and healthcare
professionals, each offering advice, support and activities to help visitors look after
their health and wellbeing.
These included:
● Tricia: Supporting mind, body and soul.
● Wild & Wise: Self-help and wellbeing support.
● Lumens: Power chair and wheelchair advice.
● Grosvenor Park: Care home information and support.
● Kilkenny Crew: PTSD awareness and support.
● Rage Xtreme: Anger management support.
● K9 First Aid: Pet first aid and nail clipping.
● Beatty Dental: Dental advice and information.
● Ellie’s Kitchen Club: Healthy food and nutrition.
● Touch of Gentleness: Hand massages and relaxation.
● Michelle Maskell: Sound baths and relaxation.
● Headway: Brain injury awareness and support.
● East Sussex Hearing: Hearing advice and equipment.
● Harrington Solicitors: Wills, probate and lasting power of attorney.
● Send a Smile: Gifting and spreading happiness.
Visitors also had the opportunity to take part in a range of free taster sessions
throughout the day, including:
● Move With Me: Chair-based movement and gentle yoga with Trish.
● Sound Bath: A chance to relax and unwind with Michelle.
● Planning for the Future: Understanding Lasting Powers of Attorney with
Heringtons Solicitors.
● Anger Management: Practical advice and support with Ben and Amy from
Rage X-treme.
● Pet First Aid: Learning essential pet first aid skills with Louise from K9 First
Aid.
● Understanding PTSD: Raising awareness and sharing support with the
Kilkenny Crew.
It was such a pleasure to meet some of the lovely residents at Grosvenor Park Care
Home, who joined us throughout the day to chat with our team, receive their flu jabs
and enjoy some of the activities on offer. Making healthcare as accessible as
possible is at the heart of everything we do at Coda, and it’s always wonderful to
have the opportunity to connect with our local community and make a difference.
We were also delighted to welcome former Eastbourne MP Stephen Lloyd, who took
the time to visit our event and see what was on offer.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, shared their knowledge and gave their
time to support the day. We’d also like to thank all the residents and visitors who
came along to chat with us, have a health check or take part in one of the activities.
We’re always looking for new ways to develop our community health days and make
healthcare more accessible to our community. We’ve got plenty more ideas we’d love
to explore, so keep your eyes peeled for what’s next!
