Every response matters is the message from Community Pharmacy England as the deadline for responding to its Pharmacy Pressures survey is extended to 10am on 13 April.

“We’re asking for just 15 minutes to ensure that the reality of your pharmacy’s situation is represented in our national evidence base. Your responses combine to create hard facts that policymakers, media and the public cannot ignore,” says CPE.

“Securing immediate investment and easing pressures on community pharmacies remains our number one priority. Taking part in the Pressures Survey helps support that work – and every response matters.”

There are two separate surveys:

• Business Owners/Head Office Survey
• Pharmacy Teams Survey

CPE says the survey is crucial for monitoring the realities facing community pharmacy. “We know that being asked for feedback every year can feel repetitive, but the enormous response we receive is invaluable.

“The survey allows us to quantify and measure the intolerable pressures facing community pharmacy, including financial constraints, medicine supply issues, staffing pressures, the impact on patients and much more. The results are used to raise awareness in national media and Parliament, ensuring government and NHS decision-makers understand the challenges pharmacies face.”
