Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment Survey

We welcome your views on your local pharmacy

The Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) is used to ensure that pharmacy services meet the needs of the population in your area. This includes where services are and what services are provided by the pharmacy or pharmacies near you.

Brief description of project:

Health and Well-Beings boards within Local Authorities have a statutory duty to carry out a statement of needs for the pharmaceutical services for the population it serves. This is known as a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA).

To help produce the PNA we would like to hear your views and experiences about the pharmacy services in your area. Your views are very important to us as they will enable us to understand the needs of the population and this will help shape future pharmacy services in your area.

We would really appreciate you taking the time to complete the questionnaire, which should take no more than 10 minutes.

Who will we speak to?

We would like to hear from patients and residents who use pharmacies in Berkshire.

There is a separate survey specifically for pharmaceutical contractors.

What and how will we ask?

We are asking people to share their experiences of using pharmacies in Berkshire. This includes questions about the services provided by pharmacies, as well as their location and opening times.

The survey includes equality monitoring questions so we can make sure our services are provided fairly and to those who need them.

How can you help?
