Why BCS

Why Blaby PCNs choose BCS for repeat prescribing optimisation.

  • Weekly clinical supervision from a senior pharmacist at the Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub
  • Same-week sickness, leave and maternity cover — no service gap in Blaby

Frequently asked questions — Repeat Prescribing Optimisation in Blaby.

Do you take over the repeat process entirely?+

Yes — by default our pharmacy technicians own the day-to-day re-authorisation queue, with pharmacist sign-off for clinical changes. The GP only sees genuine clinical decisions.

Will switch programmes be agreed with us?+

Always. Every switch programme runs from a protocol signed off by the PCN's clinical lead and the relevant ICB Medicines Optimisation team. Nothing is changed unilaterally.

How quickly will we see prescribing cost impact?+

Most switch programmes show measurable cost impact in the first quarter and full-year impact by month nine. We report cost-saving against baseline every month.
