Newham Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) 2022/23
We want to make sure that your local pharmacy (also called a chemist) is giving you the things that you need. For example, your prescription, getting advice on treating minor health concerns and healthy living and/or essential vaccination. We are talking with people who live, work and study in Newham about this.
What is the PNA?
The purpose of the PNA is to assess and set out how the provision of pharmaceutical services can meet the health needs of the population of Newham for a period of up to three years.
Tell us what you think
We are asking your views and comments on the draft pharmaceutical needs assessment report, and if it accurately addresses issues that you consider are relevant to your local pharmacy services. Fill in the survey in Phase 3 of the Timeline on this page.
If you have any questions or are in need of support about this consultation, please email publichealthenquiries@newham.gov.uk
Phases
Have your say on pharmacy services in Newham
We want to make sure that your local pharmacy (also called a chemist) is giving you the things that you need. For example, your prescription, getting advice on treating minor health concerns and healthy living and/or essential vaccination. We are talking with people who live in Newham about this. Please tell us about the local pharmacy that you use most often. If you rarely go to the pharmacy, please tell us about the pharmacy that you used most recently.
What we are asking you to do
Please complete this questionnaire. All of your answers will be confidential, so please feel free to be as honest as you can. Your responses will help Newham Council to prepare an assessment of the current and future needs of local people for pharmacy services. We will use your feedback to help develop our draft of the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) which will then be available for public consultation in the summer of 2022.

Data protection statement
We’ve asked for your information on this survey because it tells us more about the people (like you) who use our services. If we know more about you, we know more about the way our services are used and this helps us to make improved decisions about them. It also helps us to make sure we’re hearing from all our diverse communities.
There are times when we need to collect your contact information (so we can keep in touch). When we ask for this, we will be clear about why we’re collecting this information and how it will be used. When we analyse responses and report findings from our surveys, your personal details will not be identifiable. That’s the same for when we ask for demographic information (like your age, gender identity, ethnicity or disabilities). We’ll also make sure that you don’t have to answer any questions about you, if you don’t want to. For the purpose of this survey we are NOT collecting any personal information and so all responses will remain anonymous.
