Antimicrobial Stewardship in Gillingham.
Gillingham · local context
Gillingham PCNs sit within the local South East ICB (Sussex, Surrey Heartlands, Kent and Medway, Hampshire and Isle of Wight, Frimley, or Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West).
Gillingham PCNs typically serve an older, wealthier population with rising polypharmacy in over-75s — SMR throughput is the single most measurable BCS metric here.

Why Gillingham PCNs choose BCS for antimicrobial stewardship.
Solo recruitment for antimicrobial stewardship in Gillingham leaves a network exposed to sickness, maternity and retention risk, and rarely meets the supervision standard ICBs now ask for. BCS removes all of that — pharmacists are part of a clinical team, supervision is built in, and continuity is guaranteed by the Chiswick (West London)/Halifax (West Yorkshire) dual-hub.
