Pharmacies provide over-the-counter medication, as well as dispensing medication prescribed by a doctor.
Many pharmacies will also provide vaccinations as well as health checks. Local pharmacists can also provide health advice and information regarding many health queries.
To improve health and wellbeing, pharmaceutical service provision should be designed to best suit the specific demographics and health profile of the local population.
In this section you will find the pharmaceutical needs assessment (PNA) which describes current pharmaceutical service provision and identifies the pharmaceutical needs of the local population.
