Four weeks to go

In our third HLP Countdown update, now with just 4 weeks to go, there are some important local considerations to review and develop.

Start outside of your pharmacy to identify local health needs and engage with local GPs and other providers. Then think about what you can achieve inside your pharmacy with a Health Promotion Zone.

If you are worried that you are behind review our HLP Countdown materials and get in touch if you need specific advice and guidance.
