Sally, aged 45 years, comes to buy a medicine for her partner, who has a cold. While you are giving Sally her change, she asks you what advice you would give about her partner, who is 56 years old and always eats and drinks too much at Christmas. Earlier this year, he was diagnosed with angina. The couple find family visits at Christmas quite stressful. With your team, discuss:

• What questions could you ask Sally about her partner?
• What advice could you give to Sally about her partner's diet over Christmas €“ breakfast, Christmas dinner, snacks? Before a party? How can he eat less and consume fewer calories?
• What about alcohol consumption? How could her partner be careful around alcohol?
• Could you help inform Sally about how much alcohol and calories there are in different drinks?
• What would you recommend if Sally's partner suffers from a hangover?
• Would you recommend any products for Sally's medicine cabinet? If so, which ones?
• Do you have any specific advice for Sally, given that her partner has angina?
