ACTIVE Ageing Week, held from 06-12 Oct, encourages adults aged 50 and over to live a healthy and active lifestyle.

Coordinated by the International Council on Active Aging, this global initiative shines a spotlight on the importance of staying physically, mentally and socially active as we grow older.

“Community pharmacists are well placed to help adults over 50 stay healthy and independent,” said Chris Owen, Queensland Branch President of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia.

Pharmacists can support healthy ageing by providing advice on managing long-term conditions, giving vaccinations, reviewing medications, and guiding healthy lifestyle choices like nutrition and exercise.
