Lutterworth · local context

Lutterworth PCNs sit within NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland ICB.

Lutterworth PCNs cover a rural southern patch close to the M1/A14 — BCS combines face-to-face pharmacist days with HSCN-secured remote prescribing for branch sites.

For antimicrobial stewardship specifically, the Lutterworth pathway typically integrates with University Hospitals of Leicester and University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

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.
