This week, we have celebrated

🥀 Remembrance Day 🥀

🥰 World Kindness Day 🥰

🧸 Children In Need 🧸

at Nanty Pharmacy 💚

The girls observed a two-minute silence on Tuesday, and we are proudly displaying the wonderful crochet poppies made by our fab customer Rowena 🥀

And yesterday, we were lucky to receive some beautiful "Pocket Hug" gifts for each of us, handmade by the little stars at Standing To Grow ✨ and this lovely card!
Anna was sad to miss our little visitors (as she was being a busy 🐝 in the consultation room) but very chuffed with our lovely pressies 🥰

Natalie, Leigh and Andrew, along with our second-year Pharmacy Student Sophie, put in the effort today with their Pudsey outfits, bringing some sunshine inside on a drizzly day! ☀️

A note from Anna: I'm so proud of my fabulous team for their hard work and passion. The only reason I'm able to do my job is because of them.
A massive thank you to Kyron Media for hosting this fantastic event, as always! And to the Awards sponsors Teva (Clinical Excellence) and Cencora Alliance Healthcare (Independent Pharmacy of the Year) 🏆

A shout-out to our fellow finalists, in particular Caerau Pharmacy and Tynewydd Pharmacy - both incredible teams who give their all to their community, and both instrumental in bringing Nanty Pharmacy to existence in the first place 🙏🏻 Well done and thank you for all you do 💚

It's World Mental Health Day today!

At Nanty Pharmacy, we are passionate about Mental Health & Wellbeing, and today we'd like to shout out a few local organisations, whose hard work and focus on providing safe spaces and improving the mental health of the community should be celebrated.

Billys Gym & Wellness Centre CIC
We're extremely lucky in the Llynfi Valley to have Billy's Gym & Wellness Centre, an incredible organisation who focus on putting the community truly at the heart of what they do. We're really excited to see their growth, and would encourage all to make use of what they offer. Thank you for all you do - we look forward to following your future endeavours!

The Social Counselling Collective
We're extremely happy to host The Social Counselling Collective providing FREE counselling on the last Wednesday of each month between 1 and 3pm.
Below is an extract from www.socialcounselling.co.uk
"Despite an increased focus on Mental Wellbeing, Mental ill-health, and Mental Health, many people never get the chance to speak to a counsellor. There are many reasons for this, some of them relate to stigma and the continuing sense of shame and embarrassment that comes with talking openly about oneself, some relate to the lack of opportunity to ever have contact with a counsellor, and some people simply can’t afford it"
This is an amazing and much-needed initiative - please take advantage of this service provided by these incredible volunteer counsellors ❤️

Caerau Men Shed
The impact that Caerau Men's Shed have on local lives every day is incredible. We are so proud to be part of this community, and grateful to the wonderful people at the Men's Shed for their efforts and passion to help fight the stigma of mental health in men 🙏🏻🥰 always a warm welcome there!
www.caeraumenshed.co.uk

And finally, we are proud to have these posters on display in the pharmacy, created by our pharmacist Anna, detailing some of the free mental health resources that are available in Wales.
If you or someone you know needs support with their mental health and well-being, scanning the QR code will take you to an interactive version of the poster - by clicking on a resource, you will be directed straight to the relevant website or social media page. Downloadable PDFs are also available on the "Leaflets and Forms" section of our website at www.nantypharmacy.co.uk

Had this little guy gifted to us from a patient's travels 🐘
Anna asked her to bring her back an elephant - and she did! 🥰
How lucky are we to have such caring and thoughtful patients?!
We never take you for granted - things like this touch our hearts more than we can say ❤️

Anna is off this week for her own travels (nowhere quite as exotic, but lovely nonetheless), so you will be looked after by Callum, Kayleigh, Natalie, Leigh, Susan, Andrew and Emma 🥰

(P.S. Anna loves our little elephant 😍)

Attending the Independent Pharmacy Awards in Westminster! 💂🏻‍♀️
A fab day celebrating everything Community Pharmacy. Anna was honoured to be shortlisted as a Finalist for Independent Pharmacist of the Year, and although she didn't take the win this time, she did receive a High Commendation 🏆
Our friend and colleague Gareth Rhys Hughes of Tynewydd Pharmacy was named the winner, and we're extremely proud of him and the work he does for his community. Anna says that if she is going to come second to someone, she's very happy that it's Gareth, who absolutely deserves the recognition of his great work 👏🏻❤️
It's also a wonderful thing to celebrate that two out of the three finalists in this UK-wide award are from South Wales, and both from Cwm Taf Morgannwg Health Board! A great success for representation of Welsh Pharmacy in the House of Commons today.
Looking forward to the Welsh Pharmacy Awards 2025 on the 15th October! 🎉
