Wigston · local context

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

Wigston PCNs combine Oadby's older suburban list with South Wigston's higher deprivation — pharmacist cohorts split between SMRs and CVD prevention work.

For AF optimisation specifically, the Wigston pathway typically integrates with University Hospitals of Leicester. 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.
