Coventry and Warwickshire residents are being invited to take part in a survey which will help to inform and shape local pharmacy services.
Coventry City Council and Warwickshire County Council are conducting the survey, which is officially known as the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA), on behalf of the Health & Wellbeing Boards in Coventry and Warwickshire to assess the current and future needs of local pharmacy services available across the patch.
The PNA is a key document which must be revisited every three years and is used by NHS England to inform decisions about applications for new, or changes to existing pharmaceutical services, and the commissioning of NHS-funded services that can be provided by local community pharmacies.
It is also used by local authorities and Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG) when commissioning services to meet local health needs and priorities.
The survey is anonymous and confidential and anyone who uses local pharmaceutical services is invited to comment - Coventry and Warwickshire Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment Survey | Let's Talk Coventry
In the interests of infection prevention, we have not printed this questionnaire and encourage online completion where possible. However, if you do need a paper copy or need this information in another format or language, please email your name and address to PNAsurvey@coventry.gov.uk or call 08085 834333 and we will post a paper version of the survey to you.
The feedback from the public survey will help develop a draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment which will then be available for public consultation later this year.
