High-Risk Drug Monitoring for Hackney PCNs and GP practices.

The Hackney service is mobilised from our Chiswick (West London) hub.
PCN Clinical Directors and Practice Managers in Hackney get a single SLA, a single monthly outcomes report and a single escalation point — the BCS managed model, applied to high-risk drug monitoring specifically.

- Same-week sickness, leave and maternity cover — no service gap in Hackney
