Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment

Since April 2013 every Health and Wellbeing Board in England has a legal responsibility to publish and keep up to date a statement of the needs for pharmaceutical services of the population in its area, referred to as a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA). The PNA looks at the existing provision of community pharmacy services across the Isle of Wight and whether this meets the current and future needs of the population. It can be used to make decisions in the commissioning of NHS-funded Pharmaceutical Services.

Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment 2025-2028

The statutory consultation process for the Isle of Wight Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment, which took place in early 2025, has now been completed and the final report approved by the Health and Wellbeing Board. This PNA is valid from 1 September 2025 to 31 August 2028.
