Help shape the future of pharmaceutical services in Harrow
Healthy Dialogues, on behalf of London Borough of Harrow, is conducting a survey to gather valuable insights on local pharmaceutical services. Your experiences and feedback can help shape the future of these services, ensuring they better meet the needs of residents in our community.
Why we need your input
Your feedback matters. Whether you’re a frequent user of pharmaceutical services, have used them occasionally, or have insights into someone else’s experiences, your perspective is invaluable. We aim to understand:
Who Should Take the Survey?
We encourage all Harrow residents to participate, regardless of how often you use pharmaceutical services. Your perspectives will help us build a comprehensive understanding of what’s working well and where changes are needed.
The survey only takes a few minutes, and your responses will remain confidential. Access the survey here: https://forms.office.com/e/T3CLNc3tEu
The survey closes on 16th February.

And here is the 2025 calendar:
The Department for Transport (DfT) is conducting a national consultation, closing date 30 January 2025, to which Pinner Association members and other may wish to give individual responses (the tight deadline for responses makes it not feasible for the Association to collect and collate a combined response from our members).
The Department for Transport is developing a strategy which will set the high-level direction for how transport should be designed, built and operated in England over the next 10 years.
It will set out a single national vision which will put people who use transport and their needs at its heart and empower local leaders to deliver integrated transport solutions that meet the needs of their local communities.
To help us create the strategy, we are now asking people:
We want to hear from:
Responses to this call for ideas will be considered in the drafting of the Integrated National Transport Strategy.
Here is the link to the DfT webpage for the consultation documents and how to submit a response:
Happy Chanukah to all of you celebrating.
Way back in May, Harrow Cycle Hub approached us for a donation towards a new towards a specially adapted Fun2Go bike. We pledged £1000 towards the cost of the bike. After much fund-raising Harrow Cycle Hub reached their target and recently took delivery of the new side by side tandem that has been specially adapted.
Harrow Cycle Hub are a charity that run ‘Wheels for All’ sessions for people who would normally not be able to cycle or find two wheels hard. They run these sessions on Tuesday and Saturday mornings.
Yesterday our past Chair Julie went down to see it in action, naturally she couldn’t resist having a go. Julie took the opportunity to speak to some of the parents whose youngster attend these sessions. As well as getting them out exercising, being able to cycle on their own, has increased the confidence of the riders. For some of the youngsters, it’s something that they look forward to on a weekly basis.
Harrow Cycle Hub also runs ‘Learn to Ride’ and ‘Confidence Builder’ courses on two-wheelers, cycle maintenance courses, led rides and more. Sign up to their newsletter to keep in touch:
