The Power of Pharmacy with Caoimhe McAuley

In the very first episode of IMAGE The Check-in, host Ellie Balfe is joined by Caoimhe McAuley, Director of Pharmacy at Boots Ireland, to explore the vital role pharmacy plays in women’s health.

From being the first point of contact for everyday health concerns to offering trusted support throughout life’s bigger moments, Caoimhe explains why a simple conversation with your pharmacist might be one of the most supportive steps you ever take.

Together, they unpack the complete checklist of health screenings women should be aware of, what really matters when it comes to supplements, and the facts around GLP-1 medications. This episode is all about demystifying, guiding, and empowering women to take control of their own health story with clarity and care.

IMAGE The Check-in is empowered by Boots, and sponsored by Samsung, Waterstone Clinic, Irish Life Health, and Its4Women.
