About Us

Community Pharmacy Sandwell (formerly Sandwell Local Pharmaceutical Committee or LPC) is the local voice of Community Pharmacy contractors within Sandwell  Health & Wellbeing Board area.

The Local Pharmacuetical Committee is an elected body recognised and specifically referred to in NHS legislation, set up to represent the interest of all local NHS Community Pharmacy Contractors which has to be consulted by the NHS England Area Team on all matters relating to the terms of service and contracts for Community Pharmacy.
