Consultation on Sandwell's Draft PNA

Overview

Every 3 years we have to review Chemist Services in Sandwell, as part of our Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA).

The PNA looks at the current state of pharmaceutical services (like chemists) in an area, including what services they offer and their locations. 

It also considers the future needs of the population, taking into account demographics, health trends, and potential changes in the types of services that might be needed.

The PNA is a key tool for the NHS Integrated Care Board and Sandwell Health and Wellbeing Board when making decisions about commissioning new pharmacies or expanding existing services.
