30 Jul Attract Clients for an NHS Health Check With These Seven Top Tips
Here are the seven ways Pharmacists can attract more clients for an NHS Health Check:
Get the whole pharmacy involved in screening clients for the NHS Health Check
Don’t just rely on those that have been trained to deliver the service. It is a whole pharmacy approach.
Have stickers / leaflets within prescription bags promoting the service
Making sure any marketing materials are on full display will also help to make the service more visible.
Have a blood pressure stand
Offer all eligible people the full health check.
Link the NHS health Check to national campaigns such as:
- National Obesity awareness – January
- No Smoking Day – March
- World Health Day – April
- Action on Stroke Month – May
- Dementia Action Week – May
- Men’s Health Week – June
- Diabetes Week – June
- Health Information Week – July
- Know your numbers – September
- Stoptober – October
Use other pharmacy initiatives as an opportunity to screen clients
Initiatives such as the flu jab could give a great opportunity for your client to check their eligibility.
Promote the service on your website
Or your Pharmacy’s social media page!
