Have Your Say: PSNC Pharmacy Pressures Survey
Written by AlisonFreemantle on Friday 17th February 2023
All Pharmacy Staff can complete the survey - Please take part
PSNC has launched a Pharmacy Pressures Survey and is asking all pharmacy staff including locums to take part.
We know Community Pharmacies are facing unprecedented financial and operational challenges. National pharmacy bodies are working hard to raise awareness of the severity of the problems to policy makers and lobby for action to ease the pressures and the 2023 Pharmacy Pressures Survey will help to inform this work.
The survey results will be critical to help show Government and the NHS how difficult things now are for pharmacies, and to persuade them to take action. PSNC will be using the results both in negotiations and in national media work as part of the joint #saveourpharmacies campaign. Community Pharmacy South Central will also be able to use the results in our own conversations with local MPs and ICBs.
There are two separate surveys, one for pharmacy business owners/head office representatives, and the other for pharmacy teams. Please make sure you complete the correct one. Many of the questions are similar to last year giving a clear comparison of how much things have worsened since last year.
The surveys will be open for completion until Close Of Play Monday 20th February and should take around 15 minutes to complete.
