Antimicrobial Stewardship in Newham.
Newham · local context
Newham PCNs sit within NHS North East London ICB.
Newham PCNs serve England's most ethnically diverse borough, with diabetes prevalence and CVD risk well above the London average — a textbook fit for BCS-led structured medication reviews.
For antimicrobial stewardship specifically, the Newham pathway typically integrates with Barts Health (Newham University Hospital). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

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