Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA)
Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) 2022
Kingston’s Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) for 2022 has been completed. The document can be found below.
What is a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA)?
The PNA is a report of the present needs for pharmaceutical services. It is used to identify any gaps in current services or improvements that could be made in future pharmaceutical service provision. The government requires all Health and Wellbeing Boards to produce an assessment of pharmaceutical services in its area every three years, under the NHS.
Who will use the PNA?
The PNA will be used by NHS England, Kingston Council, and the local NHS Integrated Care Board (ICB) to make decisions when applications for new pharmacies are received, and for the commissioning of other services that could be delivered by community pharmacies and other providers.
