Pharmaceutical needs assessment

Overview

Have your say on the provision of pharmacies and pharmacy services in Leicester.

Why your views matter

Every 3 years, pharmaceutical needs assessments (PNAs) are carried out around the country to make sure that local community pharmacies (chemist shops) are meeting the pharmaceutical needs of local people.

We are asking people across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland for their views on pharmacy services and usage to feed into a new PNA.

The PNA helps the local NHS to manage and make decisions about requests from pharmacists or pharmacy businesses to set up new community pharmacies, merge businesses, or move premises within Leicestershire. They also provide insight into other areas where improvements to pharmacy services can be made.

Preparing PNAs is the responsibility of Health and Wellbeing Boards. These Boards bring together local authorities, the NHS and other key partners to improve the health and wellbeing of their local areas.
