Pharmacy services in the city

NHS Brighton and Hove invites you to have your say on what you think about pharmacy service in your area and how services can be improved for the future. The public consultation period runs from 4 October to 5 December.

This will enable commissioners to truly understand the needs of the local population.

Jane Moffatt, Head of Medicines Management at NHS Brighton and Hove, urges people to have their say regarding pharmacy services.

She said

“Although, the feedback we have had is that generally people are happy with their pharmacy services, we would still like to use this consultation period to dig a little deeper to see how services could be improved for the future.”

The closing date for feed back and comments will be 5 December.
