Antimicrobial Stewardship in Loughborough.
Loughborough · local context
Loughborough PCNs sit within NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland ICB.
Loughborough PCNs combine Charnwood's older population with the largest student population per capita in the East Midlands — pharmacist cohorts split between care home in-reach and contraception/travel work.
For antimicrobial stewardship specifically, the Loughborough pathway typically integrates with University Hospitals of Leicester. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

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