Posted on: October 26, 2025

We want to explore how people are using their local community pharmacies and how they think services could be improved. As part of this project, we have launched a new survey and are hosting one-to-one interviews to hear your views and provide you with the opportunity to share your experiences. We are interested in speaking with anyone from West Essex about their experiences using local pharmacies.

Whether it’s picking up prescriptions, getting health advice, or using walk-in services, your voice matters. By getting involved you’ll be shaping how pharmacy services are delivered and improving access to healthcare.

 We are particularly interested in hearing from:

  • Children and young people
  • Frail/housebound residents
  • Parents and carers
  • People with neurodiverse conditions
  • People with sensory disabilities

For more information, visit the Healthwatch Essex website:

All responses will be kept anonymous and any personal information you provide will be strictly private and confidential.

Get in touch: If you would like to speak to us directly to share your story, please email our Project Officer Lily Boag, lily.boag@healthwatchessex.org.uk or call 07742 072740. (Please get in touch if you would like this survey to be provided in an alternative format.)

Our engagement period closes on February 20th 2026.
