Views sought on Pharmacies and Dispensaries in Cambridgeshire

by johnwilliams on 16 March, 2017

People in Cambridgeshire are being asked their views on pharmacies and dispensaries across the county.

The consultation, commissioned by the Cambridgeshire Health and Wellbeing Board, which finishes on 30 April 2017, asks people’s views on pharmaceutical services for now and in the future.

Pharmaceutical services include filling prescriptions, selling medicines that don’t need a prescription, giving advice and supporting people to quit smoking. At the moment there are 110 pharmacies and 43 dispensing GP practices across Cambridgeshire, with 23 pharmaceutical service providers per 100,000 people, the same as the national average.

People’s views will help to inform the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA), a statutory report produced by the Cambridgeshire Health and Wellbeing Board. This will then be used to help shape future development of pharmaceutical services across the county, including decisions made by NHS England on applications to open new pharmacies. The final PNA will be published by July 2017.

The consultation and draft PNA document can be accessed here: http://cambridgeshireinsight.org.uk/JSNA/PNA
