Burkes Pharmacy Kilcullen is set to host a special event on Saturday, 7 March, to celebrate International Women’s Day. It will feature a series of guest speakers discussing various health-related topics relevant to women. 

The event begins at 11am with Lorna Keating, a Chest Pain Advanced Nurse Practitioner at Naas Hospital, who will focus on preventative cardiology for women. At 12 noon, Annmarie O’Neill, a Patient Ambassador and Founder of Thrombosis Ireland, will speak about the risks and symptoms of blood clots in women. O’Neill is also a volunteer at the Irish Heart Foundation. 

In the afternoon, at 2pm, Alison Browne, a yoga teacher and health & society undergraduate student, will cover the benefits of yoga and meditation for women’s health. 

Attendees can take part in a raffle in aid of the Irish Heart Foundation. Prizes include hampers donated by L’Oreal Beauty Ireland and yoga class vouchers from Alison Browne. Joan Kilgallon, owner of Burkes Pharmacy Group, has pledged to match any funds raised during the event.
