A WEMBLEY chemist is offering free health checks to all local residents.

Maryam Balogun, a pharmacist at the Optipharm Chemist in Bridge Road, Wembley, has pledged to provide free blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol screenings for the next two months - saving customers the usual fee of £20.

All services will take place in a private consultation room within the pharmacy, but people must book in advance.
