The City of Wolverhampton Council is in the process of updating the city’s Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment, which maps the current pharmacy offer in Wolverhampton – including where there may be any gaps or needs.
And it wants to hear from customers about the type of services they already use and value, as well as the sort of services they might like to receive from their local pharmacy if possible, in order to shape pharmacy services in the future.
The survey is available until this Sunday (12 January, 2025).
Councillor Jasbir Jaspal, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for Adults and Wellbeing, said: "Local pharmacies offer a range of services to improve people’s health beyond the safe dispensing of medicines, and are a key contributor to meeting the health needs of our local population.
“We want to understand how people are using them, in terms of what they use them for, what time of day they use them, whether they are accessible and so on – as well as what more they could offer.
“This survey will help assess if the current provision of local pharmacy services meets the needs of our population, and help us shape these services for the future.
“We'd really appreciate it if customers could take a few moments to complete our short questionnaire asking them what services they use and what services they would like to see from their local pharmacy."
