Joint Strategic Needs Assessment
We’re responsible for assessing the health and wellbeing of our local population and helping to address any issues that arise.
We use a number of assessments to help us build our Health and Wellbeing Strategy for Norfolk and Waveney.
The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) is a collection of online data and analyses on the health status and trends needed to inform our planning.
Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment
We produce the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) to give us a picture of current pharmaceutical services across our area. This helps us to identify gaps in those services.
We consult widely, including with GPs, pharmacists and the public, to draw up the assessment.
We also bring out supplementary statements, which record changes to the provision of pharmacy services since the publication of the PNA.
They’re issued for the opening or closure of pharmacies or when there are other minor changes.
Once issued, a supplementary statement becomes part of the PNA.
