Antimicrobial Stewardship · Leeds
Antimicrobial Stewardship in Leeds.
Leeds · local context
Leeds PCNs sit within NHS West Yorkshire ICB (Leeds place).
Leeds PCNs work at the Leeds Teaching Hospitals doorstep — discharge medicines reconciliation from LGI and Jimmy's drives a materially higher BCS technician workload than the West Yorkshire average.
For antimicrobial stewardship specifically, the Leeds pathway typically integrates with Leeds Teaching Hospitals (LGI and St James's). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Leeds PCNs choose BCS for antimicrobial stewardship.
Solo recruitment for antimicrobial stewardship in Leeds 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 Halifax (West Yorkshire)/Chiswick (West London) dual-hub.
