Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA)

A PNA classifies and assesses the pharmaceutical services that are currently available in an area, and future need for services based on changes to the health or geo-demographics of the population.

The 2022/25 PNA was conducted at a time of substantial change within the health and social care landscape as the North East London Health and Care Partnership is being created in response to the NHS Long Term Plan. This includes an increased use and acknowledgement of community pharmacies within newly developed primary care networks, ensuring greater opportunities for patient engagement.
