Clinical Pharmacist Support for Blackley PCNs and GP practices.
Bespoke Clinical Services delivers clinical pharmacist support to Primary Care Networks and GP practices in Blackley and across North West.

PCN Clinical Directors and Practice Managers in Blackley get a single SLA, a single monthly outcomes report and a single escalation point — the BCS managed model, applied to clinical pharmacist support specifically.

- Weekly clinical supervision from a senior pharmacist at the Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub
- Same-week sickness, leave and maternity cover — no service gap in Blackley
