Antimicrobial Stewardship · Norwich
Antimicrobial Stewardship in Norwich.
Norwich · local context
Norwich PCNs sit within NHS Norfolk and Waveney ICB.
Norwich PCNs work at the NNUH doorstep covering a large rural catchment — BCS combines on-site pharmacist days with HSCN-secured remote prescribing for outer practices.
For antimicrobial stewardship specifically, the Norwich pathway typically integrates with Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

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