Westchem Pharmacy

21/10/2025

We had a fantastic time at the Connected Living Café this week as part of Hayes Wick PCN! It was a real pleasure to speak with members of our local community about the vital role community pharmacies play—especially during the winter months.

From flu and COVID vaccinations to Pharmacy First support for common ailments like sore throats, ear infections, and UTIs, we’re here to help you stay well and avoid unnecessary GP visits.

A huge thank you to the wonderful team at Connected Living Café for the warm welcome and for creating such a supportive space for health and wellbeing. We’re proud to be part of this initiative and look forward to more community conversations ahead.
