With so much talk of covid vaccs we mustn't forget the vital role of flu vaccinations as we head into the winter peak. 50-64 year old and not had your free NHS flu jab yet? Contact your local pharmacy.

It's #TimeToTalk Day! A small conversation about mental health has the power to make a big difference. We know that the more conversations we have, the more myths we can bust and barriers we can break down. Start the conversation this Time to Talk Day 💬

So proud today as the Boots Covid Vaccination centre at Taunton received its first patients. It was a pleasure to run the training sessions last week for the fab team of pharmacists delivering the vaccinations in Taunton and Bristol and so rewarding to be vaccinating today.

It's Mental Health Awareness Week this week. Show someone that you really care and Ask Twice. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #AskTwice

Was so good to have the Community Pharmacy Somerset team all together, in person, for the first time in over 2 years, and the first time since I became Chair in Sept 2020! Dillington House was looking fabulous in the sunshine.

A little nerve rattling to be on live radio, but great to have the opportunity to talk about the great work community pharmacists are doing.
