This week is World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week

AMR is one of the biggest threats to our future health. It means infections become harder to treat and common illnesses could last longer or become more serious 😷

The good news? We can all help slow down AMR:
✅ Only use antibiotics when prescribed by a healthcare professional
🚫 Don’t share leftover antibiotics or use them “just in case”
💧 Wash your hands regularly and keep vaccinations up to date
🏠 Ask your pharmacist for advice on how to care for common illnesses safely at home

At Boustead Chemist we’re here to help you make the best choices for your family’s health and to protect antibiotics for future generations.
Pop in or contact us for advice on managing coughs, colds and sore throats safely 💙

💛 It’s World Kindness Day! 💛

Today is a lovely reminder that even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference. A smile, a kind word or helping someone out can really brighten someone’s day.

At Boustead Chemist, we see kindness in our community every day – from neighbours collecting prescriptions for others to friendly chats that make people feel cared for.

Let’s keep that spirit going, not just today but every day. You never know how much a little kindness can mean to someone. 💐
