Your feedback helped us better understand what residents need from local pharmaceutical services, including:

 

  • Where community pharmacies are located
  • What services they currently offer
  • What pharmacy services will be needed in the future across Havering
  • Opening new pharmacies
  • Changing or merging existing ones
  • Expanding the range of services available to you

We did

Your views have helped shape Havering’s draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) 2025-28.  We are now consulting on the draft, which means you have another opportunity to influence the final version.

 

The consultation is open until 17th August 2025.  Please click HERE if you would like to take part.

 

All feedback will be carefully reviewed and considered in the final version of the assessment.  The PNA will be published on Havering Council’s website by 1 October 2025, and your input will help ensure it reflects the real needs of our residents.

Overview

We Want to Hear from You!

As part of our efforts to assess and plan for pharmaceutical services in the area, we are conducting a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA). This important review helps us understand whether local pharmacy services meet the needs of our residents and identify any gaps or opportunities for improvement.

Who will see my data? 

The questionnaire is anonymous - we will not collect any data that will identify you. Havering Council are working with NHS North of England Commissioning Support Unit (NECS) to look at local needs. The questionnaire data will be shared with Havering Council and NECS.  

If you have any questions, please contact publichealth@havering.gov.uk
