Why Burnham on Crouch PCNs choose BCS for discharge medicines reconciliation.

Whether you are a single Burnham on Crouch PCN starting your first discharge medicines reconciliation programme, or a federation coordinating discharge medicines reconciliation across multiple East of England networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.
