Share your views on local pharmacies

Cheshire East council is seeking the views of local residents about their pharmacies and how they use them.

Each Health and wellbeing Board has a statutory duty to produce a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) every 3 years. The Public Survey is an important element of this process to capture users' views and experiences of their local pharmacy.

A Council Spokesperson said "Please help us to make sure that your local pharmacy is providing the right services and support for you and your family by completing a short survey.

"A community pharmacy or chemist offers services such as dispensing medicines and offering advice and practical help on keeping healthy. It is often the first-place residents will turn to when they have a concern about their health or that of their family. It is for this reason that it is important we look at how well pharmacies are meeting these needs.

"We are asking everyone to get involved and respond to this important survey, to help us shape the future of these services."

To give us your views fill in the on-line questionnaire.

It should take about 15 minutes to complete and the deadline is 31st December 2024.

The survey, which is anonymous, was developed collaboratively between all the local authorities in Cheshire and Merseyside and is hosted by Liverpool City Council (LCC).

They all now are not interested in being a good pharmacy just processing prescriptions and doing work for the NHS which is good.
Pharmacies are really poor at offering OTC medicines etc. Poor stock poor range of products even big ones are not much better.

I have to say I've always been very impressed with the service and attitude of staff at my local Cedric's Pharmacy at the Festival Hall, Alderley Edge.

I have always had excellent service and help from Cedric's for many years. At a time when the NHS are using chemist's to help deliver extra services to take pressure of local surgeries I find it very reassuring, providing they are not put on and expected to do all the extra work without additional payments and support.
