Boots Macmillan
BOOTS & MACMILLAN ARE HERE TO HELP
Together, Boots and Macmillan Cancer Support, want to give everyone, everywhere, the cancer information and support they need in a place that’s reliable, familiar and trusted. That’s why Macmillan have helped to train over 4,200 of our pharmacists as Boots Macmillan Information Pharmacists. This training helps them to understand more about the impact of a cancer diagnosis, treatments and how to support people living with, and affected by cancer.
Living with cancer can sometimes feel like an emotional rollercoaster; for those living with cancer and also for their family, friends and carers. There can be difficult moments, scary moments and confusing moments amongst others, so we want to make sure that someone who can help is just moments away.
WE'RE JUST MOMENTS AWAY
In the UK, someone is diagnosed with cancer every two minutes, but now, someone who can help can be accessed in every Boots pharmacy*
Whether you need help with medication, need information on supporting someone through chemotherapy, perhaps your treatment is finished and you’d still like support or you want to talk to someone because you know your body and something doesn’t feel right, you can talk to one of our Boots Macmillan Information Pharmacists.
You can now access Boots Macmillan Information Pharmacists in every Boots pharmacy.*
If you prefer to access support from the comfort of your own home, we also have ‘virtual’ Boots Macmillan Information Pharmacists where you can book an online video call appointment for free. Find out more here.
*Free support. No appointment necessary. Subject to pharmacist availability. In the event of a Boots Macmillan Information Pharmacist not being available when you visit, store team members will help you to access a Boots Macmillan Information Pharmacist either in another store, online, or by telephone, to ensure you get the help you need.
FOR THOSE LET'S DO OUR BIT MOMENTS
