Shrewsbury · local context

Shrewsbury PCNs sit within the local West Midlands ICB (Birmingham and Solihull, Black Country, Coventry and Warwickshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, Shropshire/Telford and Wrekin, or Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent).

Shrewsbury PCNs work close to a named West Midlands acute trust on discharge reconciliation, which BCS technicians close inside the IIF reporting window.

Why Shrewsbury PCNs choose BCS for ARRS workforce support.

Solo recruitment for ARRS workforce support in Shrewsbury 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.
