Grays · local context

Grays PCNs sit within the local East of England ICB (Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Norfolk and Waveney, Suffolk and North East Essex, Mid and South Essex, Hertfordshire and West Essex, or Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes).

Grays PCNs serve a mixed urban/rural East Anglia patch with rising care home demand — pharmacist programmes balance SMRs and discharge reconciliation in roughly equal measure.

Why Grays PCNs choose BCS for backlog clearance.

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.
