The GREAT NORTH PHARMACY RESEARCH COLLABORATIVE Annual Conference 2024 SPOTLOGHT ON WOMEN’S HEALTH REWRITING THE NARRATIVE

Attended by Chair Kim Whitehouse and Service Coach Dee Talbot.

It was an absolute pleasure to attend this recent event which gave Kim and I the opportunity to shine a spotlight on all that our fabulous Community Pharmacies can offer to support Woman’s Health. We chatted with the delegates and attendees about all the services currently at our Community Pharmacists fingertips from the Contraception Service, EHC, PFS, TPF, DMS, NMS, Smoking Cessation to name a few.  It was also highlighted to us the importance our Community Pharmacy Teams play in those seemingly minor interventions which can lead to such a vital role in keeping not only woman healthy, happy and strong but also their families, friends and support networks.

Kim headed up one of the breakout room sessions leading on: Community Pharmacy’s contribution to Women’s health, “A lifelong commitment to care” which was well received by all who attended and identified to us both that further commitment to getting our message on what Community Pharmacies can offer out the public is warranted.

A huge thanks also to all our committee members who answered the call for help from Newcastle Food Bank and collectively donated a significant amount of healthcare products for woman most in need in our community.

This was a truly inspiring event and one which we hope to continue not only attending but supporting in the future.
