​Pharmacy Pressures Survey 2026

The annual Pharmacy Pressures Survey has launched, and we are keen for all pharmacy owners and staff to share their views.

The survey is crucial for monitoring the health of the sector and its findings provide clear evidence of the realities facing community pharmacy. It captures what is needed to continue pushing for vital changes, using the latest evidence to strengthen our case and support the sector. 

Results from Community Pharmacy England’s Pressures Survey are used to raise awareness in national media and Parliament, highlighting the ongoing pressures and fragility in the sector and ensuring Government and NHS decision-makers understand the challenges pharmacies face.

We’re focused on supporting national efforts to raise awareness of critical pressures facing community pharmacy. Taking part in the Pressures Survey will help to support this.

Survey Information

The survey consists of two separate surveys: one for pharmacy business owners/head office representatives and the other specifically for pharmacy teams. Expected to take around 10–15 minutes to complete, both surveys are open until 23:59 on 16th March 2026.

For more information and to complete either of two separate surveys, visit the Community Pharmacy England website.

Community Pharmacy England extend their thanks and appreciation for your continued support in completing these surveys, especially during this busy time. The results directly support the crucial work of pressing for more support and sustained investment urgently needed in community pharmacy.
