Residents across Mid Ulster are being encouraged to put their health first as Gordons Chemists launches a dedicated five-day Health Services Week at its Magherafelt store.

Running from Monday 21st to Friday 25th September at Gordons Chemists, 1 Meeting Street, the initiative will place a different area of health in focus each day, giving local people the opportunity to meet clinicians, ask questions and learn more about the support available close to home. The programme will run from 9am until 6pm daily.

Gareth McGuigan, Pharmacist at Gordons Chemists said, “Your local pharmacy should feel like one of the easiest doors to walk through when you have a health question. People can sometimes put off seeking advice because they are busy, unsure where to begin or worried that their concern is not serious enough.

Gareth added, “By bringing a different health focus into the store each day, we want to make that first step simpler. Whether someone wants to understand their hearing, explore weight-management support, discuss mole scanning, check their blood pressure or Learn more about NHS pharmacy services, they can start with a straightforward conversation in a familiar setting.”
