People shouldn\u2019t be afraid to pop into their local pharmacy if they have a minor health issue they need support with. Pharmacists can help you with problems before they become worse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs winter rolls in, it\u2019s so important people utilise their local community pharmacist if their ailment doesn\u2019t require urgent care. This will help ease pressures on other NHS services that are especially busy during the winter months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know when something doesn\u2019t feel right it can be scary, but our pharmacists can help you get the right treatment or access to the right service.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ade Williams, a Community Pharmacist in Bristol, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe welcome anyone who has a common health problem to come in and see us before symptoms get worse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have great clinical expertise and when it comes to managing repeat prescriptions, checking blood pressure and directing you to the right service if it is needed, we are ever ready to help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis winter, help us help you by using the right NHS service.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board will be promoting Ask Your Pharmacist Week on social media using the hashtag #AskYourPharmacistWeek.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"mt-5 flex flex-row gap-x-6 uppercase text-lg font-bold text-primary items-center leading-normal\">\n    <div class=\"scriptlesssocialsharing\"><p class=\"scriptlesssocialsharing__heading\">\u09b6\u09c7\u09af\u09bc\u09be\u09b0 \u0995\u09b0\u09c1\u09a8:<\/p><div class=\"scriptlesssocialsharing__buttons\"><a class=\"button twitter\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Don%E2%80%99t%20get%20spooked%20over%20your%20health.%20Ask%20your%20pharmacist%20this%20Halloween&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fbnssghealthiertogether.org.uk%2Fbn%2Fnews%2Fdont-get-spooked-over-your-health-ask-your-pharmacist-this-halloween%2F&#038;via=nhsuk&#038;related=nhsuk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" ><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"scriptlesssocialsharing__icon twitter\" fill=\"currentcolor\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" role=\"img\"><!--!
