The local Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) is a way of making sure that pharmacies across Oldham are providing the right services, in the right locations to support Oldham residents. We previously conducted a survey during April and May 2014 about local pharmacy provision; what works well, and what could be improved. This survey was about people’s experiences when using a “community pharmacy”.
We have a legal duty to make the draft PNA available for comments, therefore this survey will form part of the Oldham Council consultation plan. The consultation wishes to consult with a range of relevant local clinical groups, including local pharmacies and other partners inside and outside the NHS.
