More Than Prescriptions: How Sarum Pharmacy Is Supporting the Community | Ep. 4

vendredi 25 septembre 2026 • Durée 28:08

In Episode 4 of The Community Sofa, Courtney and Debs are joined by Rachel from Sarum Pharmacy for an insightful and wonderfully warm conversation about the vital role community pharmacies play in supporting local people.

With 40 years of experience in pharmacy, Rachel shares how she began her career at just 17 and explains what goes on behind the scenes to ensure every prescription is dispensed safely and accurately.

We discover how Sarum Pharmacy’s online service combines convenience with a genuinely personal approach, offering telephone support, video consultations, free local prescription delivery and friendly drivers who may sometimes be the only person a customer speaks to that week.

In this episode, we discuss:

💙 How an online pharmacy works
💙 The Pharmacy First service and video consultations
💙 Supporting older people and local nursing homes
💙 Pharmacy-filled dosette boxes and medication safety
💙 Free prescription delivery across the local area
💙 Safe-place and evening delivery options
💙 The checks completed before medication reaches you
💙 The training and regulation behind pharmacy services
💙 Why human contact still matters
💙 Exciting new services planned for Sarum Pharmacy

Rachel’s passion for her work shines throughout the conversation and reminds us that a great pharmacy provides far more than medication. It offers reassurance, accessibility, safety and a trusted human connection.

And, of course, Courtney and Debs also secure their very first Community Sofa exclusive!

Épisode 2

vendredi 28 août 2026 • Durée 44:10

More Than a Massage: Caring for the Mind, Body & Person with Emma from Equilibria | The Community Sofa Ep. 2In Episode 2 of The Community Sofa, Courtney and Debs are joined by Emma from Equilibria for a fascinating conversation about massage, mental wellbeing, self-care and what it really means to support the whole person.Emma's journey into specialist massage therapy was shaped by her own family's experiences of cancer, motor neurone disease and hospice care. Today, she works with people living with cancer, complex medical conditions and neurodegenerative conditions including Parkinson's, MS and MND, adapting her approach around the individual rather than expecting the individual to adapt to the treatment.We discuss why massage can be so much more than relaxation, the relationship between our physical and mental wellbeing, the importance of listening, positive coping strategies and why carers must remember to look after themselves too.Emma also challenges some common misconceptions about massage!Most importantly, you can't pour from an empty cup!
