Letchworth · local context
Letchworth 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).
Letchworth PCNs combine larger market-town practices with smaller rural branches — BCS combines on-site pharmacist days with HSCN-secured remote prescribing for the smaller sites.

Why Letchworth PCNs choose BCS for antimicrobial stewardship.
Solo recruitment for antimicrobial stewardship in Letchworth 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.
