Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) 2025: An insights report

Healthwatch East Riding of Yorkshire undertook engagement to feed into the local Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment.  They heard from 221 people.

The information showed that residents use pharmacies to primarily collect prescriptions but also attend to seek health advice, vaccinations, and disposing of unwanted medicines. There were many respondents who attend the pharmacy by walking and car; therefore, it can be suggested that engagement with pharmacies is more likely when they are easy to get to and have adequate parking available.
