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

The Bury service is mobilised from our Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub.
PCN Clinical Directors and Practice Managers in Bury 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.
