Royston · local context
Royston PCNs sit within the local East of England ICB (Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Norfolk and Waveney, Suffolk and North East Essex, Mid and South Essex, Hertfordshire and West Essex, or Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes).
Royston PCNs serve a mixed urban/rural East Anglia patch with rising care home demand — pharmacist programmes balance SMRs and discharge reconciliation in roughly equal measure.
Clinical Pharmacist Support for Royston PCNs and GP practices.
Bespoke Clinical Services delivers clinical pharmacist support to Primary Care Networks and GP practices in Royston and across East of England.
