We would like your views about pharmacies across North Tyneside.

We want to know:

  • How you use pharmacies
  • What you think about locations and the services available
  • How you rate your experiences
  • What you would like in the future.

Even if you do not use your pharmacy very often, your views will be useful.

You can complete the short online survey via this link. For a paper copy or a version in another format email info@hwnt.co.uk or call 0191 263 5321.

Healthwatch is supporting North Tyneside Health and Wellbeing Board – which comprises the local authority, the NHS and other key partners – with the preparation of a new Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA).

The PNA helps healthcare commissioners to manage pharmaceutical services across the borough to ensure they meet the needs of residents.

This includes making decisions about requests to set up new community pharmacies or move premises, as well as identify where improvements to services can be made. The Health and Wellbeing Board has a statutory duty to publish a PNA every three years.
