We want your views around how you use your local pharmacies’ 

Healthy Dialogues have been commissioned to conduct a large-scale survey within Havering to ascertain your views around how you use your local pharmacy. The survey will form part of the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessments (PNA), a statutory requirement by the Health & Wellbeing Boards, to determine new contracts for pharmacies within your area, and how local pharmacies are currently being used.

Your say matters as the responses will help to shape the health and wellbeing needs of your area.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with Healthy Dialogues at PNA@healthydialogues.co.uk or 07825 571498.
