Pharmacy needs assessment (PNA)
Introduction
Telford & Wrekin Pharmacy Needs Assessment 2026/27 – 2028/29
Since 2013 local health and wellbeing boards have been responsible for developing and updating Pharmaceutical Needs Assessments (PNA) every three years. The purpose of the PNA, which is part of the Telford & Wrekin Joint Strategy Needs Assessment,
is to assess the local needs for pharmaceutical services. The PNA will be used by the NHS and the Local Authority to plan and commission future services. It will also be used by the NHS to identify whether new pharmacies are needed when applications are made.
Telford & Wrekin PNAs were published in 2015, 2018 and 2023, and the 2026/27 – 2028/29 PNA was approved by Health and Wellbeing Board on 19 March 2026.
