Have your say on local pharmacy services!

Sandwell Council would like to hear your thoughts about the pharmacy services near you. Your feedback will help to shape the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA), which looks at whether local pharmacies are meeting the needs of our community. The information you share will help decide whether there are enough pharmacies in the right locations, offering the right services, to support local residents’ health.
