Kingstanding · local context

Kingstanding PCNs sit within the local West Midlands ICB (Birmingham and Solihull, Black Country, Coventry and Warwickshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, Shropshire/Telford and Wrekin, or Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent).

Kingstanding PCNs combine larger urban practices with smaller market-town branches — BCS combines on-site pharmacist days with HSCN-secured remote prescribing for the smaller sites.
