Check the healthcare advice you get on Instagram 🙃

We feel really passionate about making healthcare education more accessible, but all our advice is fact checked and in line with the advice from regulatory bodies. This can’t be said for everything you read online, so:
- verify health advice with your own healthcare professionals before making changes to your lifestyle/wellbeing.
- ask for sources if none are provided
- be naturally sceptical about healthcare solutions that seem like quick fixes.

Gentle reminder: doctors and nurses are heroes, even when no one’s clapping. 👀👏🏼

As pharmacists in GP surgeries, we’re pretty lucky that our working hours are fairly ‘standard’, but that’s far from average in healthcare.
We’d love to hear your experience if you’re an NHS worker, or thinking of becoming one.
Opinion: we can’t pay our doctors and nurses enough for the work they do.

Weight loss injections work by affecting your appetite.
Many people who struggle long-term with their weight find it difficult to stop thinking about food or hunger, often called the ‘food noise’. For these people, weight management medication can be helpful.

There’s certain criteria that make you eligible for a prescription, and we’ll assess your suitability based on this criteria. To find out more, click the link in bio.

Preserve muscle when taking weight loss medication by getting a high amount of protein in each meal. Great sources of protein include:
lean meat, like chicken or turkey
fish
eggs
lentils and beans
cottage cheese
milk and yoghurt

You may also consider supplementing your diet with something like whey protein or pea protein that you can take in a shake, or add to other meals like porridge or pancakes to make them more protein-rich.
