Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA)

The Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) is a used by NHS England to agree changes to the commissioning of local pharmaceutical services.

The purpose of the PNA is to make an assessment of the following:

• the demography of its area
• current and future needs for pharmaceutical services in relation to:
  
  • the different needs of different localities within the area
  • whether there is sufficient choice to obtaining pharmaceutical services within its area
  • the effect of pharmaceutical services provided in the area of any neighbouring areas
  • any other NHS services provided in or outside its area which affect pharmaceutical services
  • whether further provision of pharmaceutical services in its area would secure improvements, or better access to pharmaceutical services
