Help improve pharmacies across Coventry and Warwickshire

Do you use any of the local pharmacy services in Coventry and Warwickshire? If so please help us to improve the pharmaceutical service by taking part in a survey and sharing your experiences of using them?

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 that 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 The Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) when commissioning services to meet local health needs and priorities.

The feedback from the public survey will help develop a draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment which will then be available for public consultation early next year.

How you can help?

Please take a few minutes to complete the survey below.

Your views are confidential and the findings from the survey will be used to inform the PNA. 

The deadline for responses is January 10, 2025.
