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
Sustainable weight change comes from small, repeatable habits, with medication playing a supporting role for some people rather than a starring one.
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
Timing, technique and interactions all affect how well a medicine works. If something is not working as expected, ask us before stopping it.
