🌸 Menopause & Pharmacy | Why It Matters 💊

Did you know that pharmacy teams can be an important source of support for people experiencing menopause?

From answering questions about medicines and potential side effects to providing advice and signposting to appropriate services, pharmacists are often accessible healthcare professionals who can help people navigate their healthcare journey.

This World Menopause Month, we’re highlighting the importance of developing confident, knowledgeable and compassionate healthcare professionals who can support people through every stage of life. 💜

🧪🎨 Science, creativity and community came together in Medway! On Saturday 3 October, Jenna from our MSoP technician team, supported by MSoP, the University of Greenwich and STAART ambassadors, led hands-on science activities with Nucleus Arts and Sun Pier House as part of the Medway Fun Palaces Trail 2026.

Together, members of the public aged from 2 to 80+ created two fantastic pieces of artwork: an overflowing conical flask reaction, donated to Nucleus Arts, and a giant capsule filled with their own colourful creations. 💊✨

The capsule became a wonderful collective masterpiece, offering a glimpse into the creative and scientific hearts of Chatham and Medway.

It was a real privilege to share these activities with the community and see the joy, curiosity and creativity they inspired! 💙
