Community Pharmacy Birmingham & Solihull

Welcome to the website for Community Pharmacy Birmingham & Solihull (BSol LPC) where we will be supporting community pharmacies across Birmingham and Solihull with resources, training and guidance.

Urgent: Check your NHS Smartcard

Pharmacy teams rely on NHS Smartcards to access essential NHS systems. NHS England and Community Pharmacy England are re-asking all pharmacy staff who use Smartcards to carry out a few simple checks now - to avoid disruption later. Some older Smartcards will stop working from 7th May 2026, and others may stop working if contact details or roles are out of date. Please complete the quick checks now to avoid disruption.
