Pharmaceutical needs assessment

October 2025 - September 2028

North Tyneside Health and Wellbeing Board has published the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) for October 2025 - September 2028.

 

The government requires all Health and Wellbeing Boards to produce an assessment of pharmaceutical services in its area every 3 years. This is done using a nationally defined set of criteria.

This Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment details current pharmacy provision in North Tyneside and includes:

  • A description of community pharmacies in North Tyneside
  • An assessment of population health needs
  • An assessment of current service provision and access, including any gaps
  • An assessment of the contribution that community pharmacy can make to health and wellbeing in North Tyneside, now and in the future
  • Key messages from stakeholder engagement activity undertaken during the development of the PNA

Details on where to find local pharmacies and opening times are available at Find a pharmacy - NHS.
