The deadline to respond to the 2026 Pharmacy Pressures Survey has been extended to 10am on Monday 13th April.

Our annual survey monitoring the health of the sector is waiting to hear from pharmacy owners and pharmacy team members like you. Your experiences of pressures such as rising costs and medicine supply issues provide the essential evidence needed to show Ministers and the media the true scale of the challenges you face every day.

We’re asking for just 15 minutes to ensure that the reality of your pharmacy’s situation is represented in our national evidence base. Your responses combine to create hard facts that policymakers, media and the public cannot ignore.

Securing immediate investment and easing pressures on community pharmacies remains our number one priority. Taking part in the Pressures Survey helps support that work – and every response matters.

Take part today

There are two separate surveys: one for pharmacy business owners/head office representatives and another for pharmacy teams. Both surveys will remain open until 10am on Monday 13th April 2026.

Janet Morrison, Chief Executive of Community Pharmacy England, said:

“Community Pharmacy England regularly witnesses the extraordinary pressures pharmacy teams are facing in meetings, visits, emails, and conversations across the country. But to influence real, lasting change at a national level, we need more than anecdotes – we need robust, representative, undeniable data. That’s why the Pressures Survey is so important.

Every response strengthens our hand in negotiations. Findings from previous surveys have provided some key data points for influencing change, including securing the need for investment and margin write-offs. This year’s data will help us push for more.

Whether you are an owner, pharmacist, technician, or dispenser – your experience adds vital weight to the national picture. Responding to the survey only takes a few minutes, but its impact lasts all year.”
