High-Risk Drug Monitoring for Amble PCNs and GP practices.
Bespoke Clinical Services delivers high-risk drug monitoring to Primary Care Networks and GP practices in Amble and across North East.

The Amble service is mobilised from our Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub.
PCN Clinical Directors and Practice Managers in Amble get a single SLA, a single monthly outcomes report and a single escalation point — the BCS managed model, applied to high-risk drug monitoring 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 Amble
