Vaccines are the best way to protect people from coronavirus and will save thousands of lives. The UK COVID-19 vaccine rollout is the biggest vaccination programme in NHS history. Part of listening to your heart is knowing your pulse. A simple pulse check only takes 30 seconds and it could save your life.

Healthy Eating Week is about encouraging everyone to reflect on their lifestyle and make choices to find their healthier self. Healthy Living Pharmacies provide advice and support to help everyone plan for success. Mid-month, we highlight Diabetes Week.

That’s life, that’s what all the people say….
you’re riding high in April, shot down in May.
But I know I’m gonna change that tune…
When I’m back on top in June.”
