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

The Sandwell service is mobilised from our Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub.
PCN Clinical Directors and Practice Managers in Sandwell get a single SLA, a single monthly outcomes report and a single escalation point — the BCS managed model, applied to clinical pharmacist support specifically.

Why BCS
Why Sandwell PCNs choose BCS for clinical pharmacist support.

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