As the new school year approaches parents won't just be in a flurry of buying new pencil cases and the next size up in shoes but also will be looking to
stock their cupboard for their health needs for the next year.
Along with the Supermarket's Back-to-School sales there is also the opportunity to help parents with a clever display of the top needed cupboard accessories with
some smart recommendations to help with choices.
Looking at the UK retail market it is also worth considering that we are seeing a push for sustainability in products with those touting green credentials starting
to stand out from the competitors but with a backdrop of rising prices making price perhaps more important than ever.
Cuts and scrapes
One to definitely think about in the children's health range for back to school is plasters and wound cleaning preparations for those inevitable playground grazed
knees, cuts and scrapes.
With a focus on sustainability and some strong green credentials Elastoplast Green and Protect should be considered for any back to school health display with
eco-friendly construction and a climate neutral product but there is also Patch Kids Bamboo Sensitive Plasters which boast being home compostable.
Diet, exercise, and stress management all play important roles in heart, lung, and brain health. however a recent report from the world Health Organization suggests that the positive effects of those healthy way decisions may be jeopardized by the straightforward act of taking a breath.
Sustainability also brings financial benefits to businesses. This has been proven by Prabjaudt Singh Channa, Director of Priory Pharmacy.
Prabjaudt is a proud winner of the Sustainable Pharmacy of the Year 2023, awarded by Pharmacy Business in association with Teva UK. Prabjaudt thanked the award
organisers for acknowledging the importance of sustainability within the sector and for recognising his modest endeavours to reduce environmental impact and
safeguard future generations.
"I just felt really happy and proud of this recognition because originally when I set myself down on this path, I didn't really think anyone would be that bothered
about the small changes that we were trying to make and the impact," says Prabjaudt.
In addition to his family's background in the field, his passion for chemistry also drove him to pursue a career in pharmacy. He finds being a pharmacy contractor
enjoyable because it allows him to be flexible, pursue various interests and shape his professional path.
