About us

Wyre Forest Network of Independent Practices grew out of a mutual respect and vision of how primary care could work collaboratively without merger and was formalised in February 2018, when the group of 5 signed an MoU to work in a mutually supportive manner. This pre-dated the Network Enhanced Service (by some 18 months), and meant that we had already developed a strong ethos of joint working, collaboration and trust.  We have had a lead Clinical Pharmacist in post since October 2019, and now wish to expand the Network Pharmacy team with the recruitment of a Pharmacist and Pharmacy Technician.
