LloydsPharmacy has teamed up with Irish Men’s Sheds Association to encourage all members to look after their heart health. As part of the partnership, LloydsPharmacy’s highly trained colleagues are visiting various Men’s Shed locations across Dublin to undertake checks and offer knowledge and support to members.
Trained colleagues from LloydsPharmacy Ashleaf visited Walkinstown Men’s Shed in Dublin 12 and undertook free Heart Health Checks. Eight men were checked on this visit with positive feedback and result for all members.
With one in six people having a stroke at some time in their life, it is very important to take care of our hearts. There are simple lifestyle changes we can all make to ensure against heart attacks or strokes. Keeping an eye on one’s blood pressure is essential for maintaining a healthy heart.
