Topic: Pharmacist's roles and responsibilities during COVID 19 Pandemic. Speakers:
Log in details can be provided by Margaret Heywood ( Chair of PPG) Period Poverty- Red Box Project Dr Anita Sharma Clinical Lead Dee Radcliffe Project Lead Margaret Heywood - Chair of PPG SCHC Dr Sharma, Dee and Margaret, would personally like to thank Mrs Nichola Helliwell (President) and members of the Inner Wheel Club Rochdale, for the very kind donation of products, please see the message from Mrs Helliwell below. My name is Nichola Helliwell and I am President of The Inner Wheel Club of Rochdale. At our last meeting we had a very informative talk by Dee Radcliffe and Dr Anita Sharma, both from South Chadderton Health Centre. The talk was very enlightening, as we were given the figures showing the amount of time girls missed school as the students couldn’t afford to purchase sanitary products, so the scheme has been set up to enable the free distribution of the necessary items. I would recommend other organisations to get on board with the project. If you would like to be involved in the project or need products; please contact the practice on the following email address Oldccg.southchadderton.P85607@nhs.net
