LOOK!! This is a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.
This is a rare chance to have any query of a health nature answered by our doctor. Please raise any Health problems that are a cause of worry to you at this meeting.
Dr Aidan was on fire and the questions which came hot and fast were answered by him in a clear way. One tip to pass on ;- Eating Liquorice can up you BP [blood pressure] readings so keep away from the black stuff!
Our "Project Spectacles" initiative started yesterday in Beech Road Car Park where we were collecting old prescription glasses no longer used but in good condition. Thanks to every one who collected them up and dropped them into our spectacle bucket, and special thanks to our volunteers who gave up their time yesterday to assist us.
"Project Spectacles" ends for HeartBeat at our meeting this evening in the Parish Centre on Park Road Killarney, taking place at 8pm. Just think of it; the gift of sight for someone may be at the back of a drawer somewhere, so go get it out and into circulation where it can be useful once more.
Hope to "see" you there!
We will be passing everything collected on to Killarney Lions Club, who are part of an international movement that get these glasses to people who need them but cannot afford to buy them.
OUR NEXT MEETING:
TUESDAY 28TH FEBRUARY STARTING @ 8pm IN THE PARISH CENTRE, PARK ROAD (V93 WN32).
This evening at 8pm, our guest speaker will be Pharmacist OWEN DALY returns and he will be talking about doing a bit of spring cleaning on your medications as we move further into 2023. Do you know what each medication that you are taking is for? Is it time to see if your doses need adjusting?
Owen will talk about GENERIC medications and about the supply difficulties created by Covid & Brexit. But most importantly he will be with us to answer YOUR Questions and deal with any worries you may have medication wise.
I have lost count of the many years that Owen has made time to come along and talk to us. This is truly one of the most important and helpful meetings that we have each year. I am grateful to Owen for so generously passing on his expertise and knowledge to us every year, and for keeping us up to date in these rapidly changing times.
NOTE! WE CONTINUE TO WEAR MASKS AT OUR MEETINGS TO PROTECT OTHERS & SO THAT ALL WHO COME CAN FEEL SAFE & AT EASE. PLEASE ACCEPT THIS CONDITION OF ATTENDANCE.
THANK YOU.
Happy Valentine's Day from us to you!
