Ask Your Pharmacist Week runs between 4-11 November

The theme is ‘Professional, convenient healthcare, from your local pharmacy team’. Community pharmacists are highly qualified health care professionals, who can provide clinical advice for a range of medical conditions, including common illnesses, as part of the NHS team.
