KCC carries out the review at least every three years to help it and the NHS ensure the county's pharmacy services are meeting our communities’ needs.
To kick-start this process, we want to hear from Kent residents about:
- the pharmacy services where you live
- why and when you visit pharmacies
- how long it takes you to get there
You can get involved by completing the full confidential questionnaire on our Let’s Talk Kent website at www.kent.gov.uk/pharmacyneeds.
You can also request a paper copy by email pna@kent.gov.uk or telephone 03000 421 553.
If you are a pharmacy contractor, or a dispensing practice doctor, you can complete our questionnaires for service providers.
The closing date for all responses is midnight, Friday, 13 December 2024.
Your answers will inform KCC’s draft 2025-2028 Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment, which is expected to go out for public consultation in Spring/Summer 2025 so everyone can have their say.
“...please share your views and play a part in shaping Kent’s pharmacy services for the future”
KCC Director of Public Health, Dr Anjan Ghosh, said: “Pharmacies play a critical role in caring for our communities so it’s vital we have an accurate snapshot of how their services are working.
“Knowing how residents are using pharmacies is a key part of building up this picture.
"Please share your views and play a part in shaping Kent’s pharmacy services for the future.”
