Details
Enfield's Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) for 2025-2028 is now out for consultation. The PNA describes where community pharmacies are located, how services are currently delivered and what the current and future need for pharmacy services will be in Enfield.
The PNA is used to make decisions about whether to allow new pharmacies to open up in Enfield, as well as approving changes to existing pharmacies (for example mergers, changing premises or providing different pharmacy services).
Enfield Health & Wellbeing Board must publish a PNA which details current and planned pharmacy provision in Enfield by 1 October 2025. The regulations require that a 60-day consultation is undertaken as part of the PNA development process. The consultation is now live until 15 August 2025.
