A Link store is an excellent example of the availability of human capital to a community, encouraging primary prevention through education and where appropriate, intervention.
As a national pharmacy group, Link invests significantly in supporting campaigns to educate communities on diseases such as tuberculosis (TB), diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease and breast cancer.
“Diseases such as TB, Type 2 diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure can be prevented and our in-store material and media campaigns aim to educate our communities about prevention. Regarding diseases such as TB and breast cancer, we educate communities about recognising symptoms which enables early detection”. says Link’s Janine Openshaw.
Talking to your Link pharmacist about your symptoms can lead to a referral to a doctor and early detection. Ease of access to your pharmacist makes health awareness an everyday benefit of being a Link customer.
