Pharmacy closures in Burpham and Merrow area – please complete our survey

9th April 2024

As Healthwatch Surrey, we champion the voice of local people to shape, improve and get the best from NHS, health and social care services.

We have been hearing about the impact of recent pharmacy closures in Burpham and Merrow. We have therefore extended our GP and Pharmacy survey, and are now asking people who live in the Burpham and Merrow area to complete this short online survey to capture the experiences of local people, both about pharmacy and GP services. This will help us to build an accurate picture of the level and nature of this impact.

As an independent statutory body, we have the power to make sure decision makers listen to the experiences of local people.

The survey is on Smart Survey: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/HwSyPharmacyGPExperience/
