GIVING up smoking, reducing alcohol consumption and eating healthier are all common new year resolutions that residents struggle to stick to but Stockton Heath Pharmacy is offering help.

Staff at the store, in The Forge, on London Road, are on hand to support customers in improving and maintaining their health over the course of the year - even if they have already fell off the wagon.

Branch manager, Enda Bradley, is informing those who plan to visit the store that employees are dedicated to providing more than just a general service.

“The team here at Stockton Heath Pharmacy can offer you advice on a range of ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle, from healthy eating and losing weight, to increasing your physical activity," he said.

“We are proud to be able to offer our loyal customers a quality service and are committed to helping them improve their overall health and wellbeing.”

Anybody seeking advice on health issues is invited to pop in to the store to speak to a member of staff.
