Health advice & promotion in Ealing
Simple, practical advice from our pharmacy team on staying well, plus the free checks and seasonal campaigns we run through the year. No jargon and no scare tactics.
Where to start.
These are the subjects we are asked about most across the counter. Each one is something we can talk through with you in person, usually without an appointment.
Blood pressure and heart health
High blood pressure has no symptoms, which is why it is worth checking even when you feel fine. We measure it free of charge for adults aged 40 and over.
Blood pressure checkWeight management
Small changes you can stick with help you manage your weight over time. For some people, medication can support those changes.
Weight loss clinicStopping smoking
Quitting is the single biggest thing most smokers can do for their health. Structured support multiplies your chances compared with going it alone.
Stop smoking supportDiabetes awareness
Type 2 diabetes often develops quietly over years. Knowing the risk factors and warning signs means you can act early, when it matters most.
Blood testingGetting your medicines right
When and how you take a medicine, and what you take it with, can affect how well it works. If something isn't working as expected, speak to us before stopping it.
