In sickness and by Duncan Smith >


A PILOT scheme gi-ving community pharmacies a more active role in health


. promotion-and sickness prevention has been launched in Ribble "Valley. ■


The initiative - believed to


be the first of its type in the country - uses a dedicated staff member a t the pilot pharmacies as a “health train­ er” operating in the heart of their local community. Pa tien ts will be able to obtain advice from the phar-


. macy health train er on a range of issues, such as stop­ ping smoking or personal


.weight reduction, as well as providing invaluable support for those -with long-term con­ ditions. ' ; ; For the Ribble Valley pilot


scheme, the Community " Pharmacy Health Trainer is Christine Yates, who has worked a t Peter Buckley’s Pharmacy in Railway View, Clitheroe,. for the p a s t 10 years. ;, . ; -.She said: “I ’ve done a lot of work over recent years with public health campaigns run by the pharmacy and.NHS E a s t Lancashire, and the health trainer role grew from that. We are up and running to give advice, mainly on


,’dentiality, we’re not here to


' judge or to wag any fingers. We want to help people and


V point them in the right direc­ tion for their needs. People can jus t pop in or make an appointment. I t ’s . up to them.” The scheme has th e full


• backing of the area’s commu­ nity health provider, NHS E a s t Lancashire, which is funding the I2^month experi­ ment, with a -view to rolling it out a t other pharmacies


: throughout the area if i t proves successful.


. I t has been masterminded by Anne Shirley, Health Trainer Lead for NHS East


lifestyle issues such as weight management, quitting smok­ ing, alcohol management or perhaps drug issues. We can advise or point people in the right direction for help and assistance, for example the PCT’s Stop Smoking &rvica “I feel strengthened by the


training and the extended role and it’s all for the benefits of our customers and patients out there in the community. We aim to be a friendly and accessible service to help peo-, pie.”
