A Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) is a document which records the assessment of the need for pharmaceutical services within a specific area. As such, it sets out:
- a statement of the pharmaceutical services which are currently provided, together with when and where these are available
- details of planned or likely changes which may affect the future provision of pharmaceutical services
- any current or future gaps in pharmaceutical services, taking into account the pharmaceutical needs of the population
