neighbourhood
Get ready for a healthy winter
As the seasons change, the risk of
coughs, colds and flu can increase,
sending Christchurch residents to
their local pharmacy to stock up
on medications and to get their flu
vaccinations.
Elmwood Pharmacy at 3 Normans
Road in Strowan is ready for the rush –
they have already started flu vaccinations
for this year. This is the best way of
protecting yourself from the flu and is
free to over 65’s and pregnant women at
the pharmacy. However, anyone can walk
in and get a flu vaccination right there
and then at a time that is convenient to
you.
Elmwood Pharmacy also stock a wide
range of natural healthcare products
to boost your immunity and help
protect you further through the winter.
Pharmacist Jo Readman explains that it is
important to discuss your needs and any
other existing conditions and medications
with your local pharmacy staff to make
sure you are not putting yourself or your
loved ones at additional risk. Her team
are highly-trained, knowledgeable and
extremely approachable and friendly.
They will ensure you are receiving the
best possible advice about their whole
range of healthcare products from
pharmacist-only medicines such as
Buccaline to prevent coughs and colds,
through all the natural remedies available
to boost your immunity or help with
many other conditions, and should
the winter bugs strike they also stock a
range of pharmacy-strength cough and
cold medicines only available from the
pharmacist to help ease your symptoms
whilst you recover. Although the
common cold and ‘flu can affect people of
all ages the elderly and the very young are
particularly vulnerable and it is important
to get the best advice to ensure you and
your family stay as healthy as possible.
As well as encouraging their clients to
be proactive about their health, Jo and her
staff provide the full range of community
pharmacy services including medicines
advice services, local delivery, compliance
packaging to help you manage your
medicines, and many others. Located
next door to Norman’s Road Surgery,
they are a fast and convenient way to fill
prescriptions. They also meet a host of
other needs – there is a range of natural
toiletries and skin care including brands
such as Ethique, Trilogy and Antipodes.
Whether a customer’s need is for a
medicated hair care product or corn
plasters, the team can advise on products
to help literally from head to toe, and
from the inside out as well.

winter, talk to the experts.
