Have your say on pharmacy services in East Sussex
How do you use your pharmacy? How often do you go? Is it easy to access?
If you’ve used a pharmacy in the past 12 months, you can share your experience in a short survey being run by East Sussex County Council.
Why your views matters
The assessment of pharmacies is called a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA). The PNA is published every three years by the East Sussex Health and Wellbeing Board – a partnership of East Sussex County Council and organisations from across Sussex.
NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board will use the PNA to decide if new pharmacies need to be created in areas where accessing current services is difficult.

The survey takes5-10minutes to complete. You can use the ‘Save and come back later…’ button at the end of each page if you don’t want to complete the survey all in one go.
If you need support to take part or need the survey printed and posted to you, in large print or on coloured paper, or in another format please get in touch using the contact details below.
