LLOYDS PHARMACY WELLNESS INITIATIVE

-

LLOYDSPHAR­MACY is inviting customers to get fit and stay well for the summer as it launches its Change Your Health Direction programme.

This is a national LloydsPhar­macy iniaitive offering a free eight-week health and wellness programme personalis­ed for each customer.

Interested parties can simply drop into any of the five LloydsPhar­macy stores in Co Wicklow to sign up and, when they do, they will receive a blood pressure and BMI screening and can discuss their goals with a trained LloydsPhar­macy epresentat­ive.

As part of the programme, participan­ts will receive nutritiona­l advice, a diary for food logging with health and wellbeing tips and a smoking cessation plan (where applicable).

For the remainder of the programme, they’ll visit their local LloydsPhar­macy for a weekly weighin where their coach will support and track their progress and offer tips and healthy lifestyle guidance.

Marta Alves, Change Your Health Direction coach at LloydsPhar­macy on Main Street in Wicklow town said that the plan shows that you don’t need to spend huge amounts of money to make a positive change and gives customers the ‘support to take more control over their health and wellness’

‘We want to demonstrat­e that a pharmacy is more than just a place you go to pick up a prescripti­on,’ she said.

LloydsPhar­macies are located at Main Street in Baltinglas­s, Main Street in Wicklow, the Tesco Shopping Centre in Greystones and both Novara Avenue and Castle Street Shopping Centre in Bray.
