Utilising Pharmacies

Pharmacists see hundreds of patients every day and many of those have type 2 diabetes, below are some simple ideas of how you can work with your local pharmacists to optimise every opportunity to promote your diabetes education service:

  • Provide posters

  • Ensure regular supply of flyers

  • Design stickers/labels like this that could be stuck to medication bags - especially during Diabetes Week in June or around World Diabetes Day on 14 November

  • Provide packs that they can hand out

  • Encourage them to get involved for Diabetes Week in June, World Diabetes Day on 14 November or Prevention week by putting up bunting and may be having a display

  • Provide the opportunity for interested staff to observe a group being delivered
