Minutes:

The Health and Wellbeing Board considered the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) report, which provided an update on the process to produce and publish the 2022 PNA.

 

This report followed the briefing heard at the Board meeting on 17 October 2022, which further highlighted that there was a registered pharmaceutical service within the borough to increase emergency care with vaccination and health inequalities.

 

The needs assessment reflected on the importance and how good the service was including the increase in emergency care with vaccination and equalities, though the challenges raised were around the growing prices of medication. The PNA was also a very important part of primary care and showed how people could access their pharmacy and where they were located.

 

With a question relating to trusted providers and social prescribing, the Board heard that more work needed to be done around social engagement with more understanding around this work, it was noted that social prescribing did not always relate to drugs and that it was also a social aspect. Further, the importance for people to know what their local pharmacy provided in the community and how it was communicated was also highlighted. 

 

The Board RESOLVED:

 

To sign off the 2022 Croydon Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment.
