Ask Your Pharmacist

This week is Ask your Pharmacist Week

The focus of this year's campaign is to get members of the public to come to their local community pharmacy first, before going to their GP or accident and emergency department. 
There is a great website to support the campaign. Have a look.

I thought it timely to give you ten reasons why you should come to Barnton Pharmacy first:
