Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment 2025
We are currently updating our Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment and would like to invite you to let us know how and why you use pharmacies in the city. Many people call them chemists, but in this survey, we use the word pharmacy. By a pharmacy, we mean a place you would use to get a prescription dispensed or buy medicines which you can only buy from a pharmacy. We don’t mean the pharmacy at a hospital or the part of a pharmacy where you buy beauty products. We also don’t mean other places such as convenience stores, garages and shops where you buy medicines such as paracetamol. The Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment is a document which we must produce every 3 years. The next one is due in October 2025. It is a document which explains what people may need from pharmacies now and in the future, to help make decisions about opening pharmacies or when pharmacies move locations. Please fill in our survey and share your thoughts. The results from this survey will be published within the pharmaceutical needs assessment for Hull in October 2025.
