A Drayton pharmacy is celebrating 10 years and having helped more than 1,500 patients with free health check services.
Lloyds Pharmacy is celebrating 10 years at its School Road site this week.

Sue Spoerer, pharmacist manager, said: 'The role of community pharmacy has evolved over the years. Not only do we dispense medication and sell various over-the-counter products, but we're now increasingly becoming partners in the delivery of accessible primary care by offering vital health screening and advisory services to support local communities in managing their health.
'The team and I are passionate about helping improve the health of our customers and take a genuine interest in their wellbeing by providing expert advice on any health concerns they may have.
