Numark hosted an open day to mark its takeover of a pharmacy in a health centre in Scotland.

The pharmacy in Bo’ness Health Centre will now be known as Rowlands Pharmacy Bo’ness Health Centre and members of the local community were invited into the branch to see what services it offers.

Bo’ness Rugby Club secretary Lindsay Porteous cut the ribbon to open the pharmacy and received a donation of £250 from Numark to provide rubgy training and equipment for children aged five to 17.

The pharmacy’s branch manager Heather Berrington said: “It was lovely to welcome the community into store and re-cement our commitment to them. As community pharmacists we’re a pillar of healthcare for the locality and I look forward to meeting more of the community in the coming weeks.”

Porteous said: “Community pharmacies are so important in providing access to healthcare and I’m proud to have supported Numark Pharmacy in providing this much-needed facility.”
