MEDIA COVERAGE DURING IBS AWARENESS MONTH
1st April 2017
During IBS Awareness Month, The IBS Network charity supported the promotion of ASDA Pharmacy’s digestive health campaign nationwide. This was to provide easy-to-understand advice and tips that people can take away with them whilst they were in-store for their weekly shop. The campaign aimed to open-up the conversation about IBS - how to spot the symptoms and what steps you can take to alleviate it, so we can all better understand how to make life easier for those who need the support. ASDA Pharmacy’s digestive health event ran in-store from 1 – 24 April. A series of radio interviews and press coverage with ASDA and The IBS Network spokespeople has been generated, as a result.
