Medway Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment survey
The government requires us to produce an assessment of local pharmaceutical services every 3 years. This is called a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment. It's used to identify any gaps in current services or improvements that could be made in future pharmaceutical service provision.
Following consultation with the public and pharmacists we have produced a draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment and asked to hear your views on it.
Your comments will help inform the final Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment which will be published in September 2025.
You could take part by reading the draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment and then completing our online survey.
The consultation closed on Sunday 6 July 2025.
This Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment has been produced by Soar Beyond, contracted by Medway Council. If you need any further information or if you would like document in an alternative format, contact the Soar Beyond team on 01442 927 972 or email pna@soarbeyond.co.uk.
