Future Pharmacy Services survey

Have your say on future pharmacy services

People across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire are being invited to share their views on community pharmacy services to help shape how they are delivered in the future.

Since October 2021, health boards in Wales have been required by Welsh Government publish a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA). This assessment explains which services pharmacies already have, any that are missing, and what services may be needed in the future to meet the needs of local communities.

The assessment must be updated every five years and helps inform decisions about how services are developed and improved.

Hywel Dda University Health Board has prepared an updated draft of its PNA. This draft is supported by recent engagement with community pharmacy contractors and members of the public that took place in February this year. The health board is now inviting feedback on the draft.

The survey opens on 18 May and closes on 17 July 2026. You can get involved by:

• Reading the draft PNA document, summary document or Easy Read online at: http://www.haveyoursay.hduhb.wales.nhs.uk/have-your-say-on-future-pharmacy-services

• Completing the survey online at www.haveyoursay.hduhb.wales.nhs.uk/have-your-say-on-future-pharmacy-services

 
• Or picking up a paper copy of the survey at your local pharmacy 

• Requesting a paper copy by emailing: communitypharmacy.hdd@wales.nhs.uk or calling 0300 303 8322 and selecting option 5 (‘other services’).

A final Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment will be published by 1st October 2026 on the health board’s website.
