This year's Ask Your Pharmacist week will take place from November 9-15, the NPA has announced.

The week offers pharmacists a window for all pharmacy public awareness activities right across the UK. In previous AYP weeks, NHS bodies have used social media and local newspapers to direct people to community pharmacy as their first point of contact for modern ailments. In addition, local politicians have been invited to learn about the valuable services that are on offer in pharmacies. NPA members also displayed associated materials that are downloadable from the NPA website.

Any NPA members looking to get involved should contact head of communications, Stephen Fishwick, at: s.fishwick@npa.co.uk.
