🌼 Hayfever season has arrived in Bendigo! 🤧
With the spring weather comes sunshine, flowers… and for some of us, a whole lot of sneezing, itchy eyes and runny noses.

📍We have 6 locations around Bendigo: View Street, Bridge Street, Hargreaves Street, Arnold Street, Maiden Gully and Strathfieldsaye.

Happy World Pharmacists Day! 💜🌎
Today we're celebrating the incredible pharmacists across our Bendigo UFS pharmacies - the people who know your name, answer your questions, and go above and beyond to keep our community healthy.

We asked a few of our team what they love most about being a pharmacist with BUFS, and their answers say it all. This year's theme, 'Empowering pharmacists for healthier futures', is something our pharmacists live every day - from health advice to medicines management, our pharmacists support their community in so many ways.

To every pharmacist in our team..thank you for your care, expertise and your commitment to a healthy Bendigo & beyond.

☀️ Yellow for R U OK? Day 💛
Yesterday our team took a moment to slow down, share a coffee (and a donut or two! 🍩) and ask each other the question that matters most..R U OK? It doesn't take much to check in on someone. A conversation, a cuppa, a bit of yellow.. sometimes that's all it takes to start.

Thanks to our amazing staff for taking the time out
