22.01.2022 This time last year we were in the thick of Covid restrictions. Samantha’s leadership strengths shone through during the crisis. News Corp and Woolworths have been kind enough to recognise Samantha as one of the winners of the 2020 ‘Thanks a Million’ campaign. She has gone above and beyond to offer support to those who needed it during the pandemic, and this time last year she was making some tough decisions to keep the team at Capital Chemist Charnwood, and the community sa...fe. We are so thankful to have you lead our team Samantha, congratulations!

22.01.2022 Gaye has held the position of MACH Nurse in our pharmacy for 23 years and brings more than 40 years’ experience to this role. She is a qualified Paediatric Nurse, Midwife, as well as a qualified Maternal and Child Health Nurse. Her unique experience enables her to offer advice on babies and children up to school age, as well as supporting families during their parenting journey.

22.01.2022 There are lots of opportunities for your kids to exercise during and after school through PE classes and sports, but why not get active together? Exercising as a family is a great way to help squeeze in a few extra hours of movement every week while spending quality time together as a family. It’s good for you, and it’s good for the kids. This weekend, instead of just going for a walk around the block, head out and visit wetlands, a bird park, or a national park. This... gives you the opportunity to look for different wildlife and learn about nature and the creatures that live alongside us in our community.
