Care Home Medication Review Service · Middlesbrough
Care Home Medication Review Service in Middlesbrough.
Middlesbrough · local context
Middlesbrough PCNs sit within NHS North East and North Cumbria ICB.
Middlesbrough PCNs serve one of England's most deprived patches with notable CVD and respiratory burden — pharmacist-led SMRs and high-risk drug monitoring drive the BCS schedule.
For care home medication reviews specifically, the Middlesbrough pathway typically integrates with South Tees Hospitals (James Cook University Hospital). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Middlesbrough PCNs choose BCS for care home medication reviews.

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.
