This year's campaign 'Your voice. Your choice', celebrates the power of women's choices and voices and highlights why women need to be heard, especially in terms of their health concerns.
"Women's health week is about empowering women to take action about their health," Pharmacy 777 Pharmacist Jaye Burns said.
"Women are often the primary caregivers and the hub of a family. Often, I find they prioritise the needs of their family before their own. The accessibility of a pharmacist is an asset in making a difference to women who may have put their health concerns on hold. Making sure they are looking after their health is essential so that they can support the people around them.
"It's amazing to see changes happening that are providing women with more autonomy around their health. Easy access to UTI treatments and Oral Contraceptive Pill (OCP) repeats are revolutionary in a pharmacy setting."
Women are now able to walk into their local Pharmacy 777 to access convenient and immediate treatment for symptoms of uncomplicated UTI in a private consultation room, turning a potentially debilitating condition into something easily treatable. 777 Pharmacists can also resupply the Oral Contraceptive Pill to women under certain circumstances.
