THEY do more than just dispense prescriptions- that is the message during Ask Your Pharmacist Week.

Ian Small, deputy head of prescribing and medicines management at NHS Norfolk, said: “They can answer many questions on your health, and many pharmacists now offer support programmes for giving up smoking or losing weight and can provide information on sexual health and contraception.”

Pharmacy opening times can be found at www.norfolk.nhs.uk or by calling 0845 46 47.
