We have 2 busy pharmacies in Bedale and at least 1 in other nearby market towns, but several smaller local Boots have closed, so the option to talk to a pharmacist is limited.

Many rural areas risk being left as ‘pharmacy deserts’ if current pharmacy closure rates continue, new analysis by the National Pharmacy Association (NPA) has found.

Hello Tanya Cook,

Stay safe from scammers this holiday season by getting to know their most common scams:

Order Confirmation Scams. These are unexpected calls/texts/emails that often refer to an unauthorised purchase and ask you to act urgently to confirm or cancel the purchase. These scammers try to convince you to provide payment or bank account information, install software to your computer/device, or purchase gift cards.
Remember, if you received correspondence regarding an order you weren't expecting, you can verify orders by logging into your Amazon account. Only legitimate purchases will appear in your order history - and Customer Service is available 24/7 to assist.

Tech Support Scams. Scammers create fake websites claiming to provide tech support for your devices and Amazon services. Customers who land on these pages are lured to contact the scammer and fall prey to their schemes.
Remember, go directly to the help section of our website when seeking help with Amazon devices or services. If you do use a search engine, use caution. Legitimate Amazon websites contain "amazon.com" such as "amazon.com/support".

Here are some important tips so that you can identify scams and keep your account and information safe:

Some advice from Amazon UK . Trust Amazon-owned channels. Always go through the Amazon mobile app or website when seeking customer service or tech support or when looking to make changes to your account.
Be wary of false urgency. Scammers may try to create a sense of urgency to persuade you to do what they're asking. Be wary any time someone tries to convince you that you must act now.
Never pay over the phone. Amazon will never ask you to provide payment information, including gift cards (or “verification cards”, as some scammers call them) for products or services over the phone.
If you receive correspondence you think may not be from Amazon, please report it to us. For more information on how to stay safe online, visit Security & Privacy on the Amazon Customer Service page.

Amazon offers Cybersecurity Awareness Training free to individuals and businesses around the world.
If you're concerned about your account security, go to Protect Your System for tips and recommendations.
Sincerely,
Amazon

SMEs are the backbone of business in North Yorkshire and we often talk about business issues but sometimes the best thing about running your own business is achieving work-life balance. So you have time to do what you want to do. So this morning I chose to walk Dexter and spend time introducing myself to some new neighbours I had not talked to until today. As a result, I am more relaxed and Dexter has had better quality exercise as he played in the churchyard with a young labrador, Dawkins. Being part of the community counts.
