Pharmacy extension set to house robot dispensary
Birmingham Mail
|November 25, 2025
A NEW state-of-the-art 'robotic' pharmacy will be one of the first in the Midlands.
-
Sandwell Council has approved plans that will see the Village Medical Centre, Crankhall Lane in Friar Park, Wednesbury, extended to help prepare for the hundreds of new homes expected to be built in the town in the coming years.
The two-storey extension would also house the pharmacy's robotic dispensary - described as one of the first of its kind in the UK - which would sort and distribute prescriptions and medicines.
Installing the robot would "massively improve the capacity and efficiency of the pharmacy".
The medical centre opened in 2008 and was last extended in 2016.
