Clinical Pharmacist Support in Thatcham.
Thatcham · local context
Thatcham PCNs sit within the local South East ICB (Sussex, Surrey Heartlands, Kent and Medway, Hampshire and Isle of Wight, Frimley, or Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West).
Thatcham PCNs typically serve an older, wealthier population with rising polypharmacy in over-75s — SMR throughput is the single most measurable BCS metric here.
Clinical Pharmacist Support for Thatcham PCNs and GP practices.
Bespoke Clinical Services delivers clinical pharmacist support to Primary Care Networks and GP practices in Thatcham and across South East. Every placement in Thatcham is governed by the same compliance stack we run nationally — Cyber Essentials, NHS DSPT, GPhC-registered pharmacists, full clinical indemnity and DPIA documentation per contract. The Thatcham service is mobilised from our Chiswick (West London) hub.
PCN Clinical Directors and Practice Managers in Thatcham get a single SLA, a single monthly outcomes report and a single escalation point — the BCS managed model, applied to clinical pharmacist support specifically.

- Same-week sickness, leave and maternity cover — no service gap in Thatcham
