One in 15 of us live with diabetes. That’s 4.7 million people in the UK – more than cancer and dementia combined. Including 1 million people who don’t even know they have diabetes.
You probably know lots of people who are living with diabetes. #DiabetesAwarenessWeek

It's recommended to have an eye test every two years, even if you think your vision is fine. A million people are living with 'avoidable' sight loss, so keep your eyes and vision healthy with regular sight tests. #EyeWeek

Sight is what people fear losing most. During National Eye Health Week, we are backing RNIB Scotland and Optometry Scotland’s call, urging everyone to go for regular eye tests. Unlike other parts of the UK, these are free to everyone living in Scotland. #morethanmeetstheeye

Your community pharmacy is more than just somewhere to pick up prescription medicine. Pharmacists are qualified healthcare experts who can offer clinical advice & if symptoms suggest it's more serious, they'll ensure you get the help you need. #StayWellNI
