Care Home Medication Review Service · Preston
Care Home Medication Review Service in Preston.
Preston · local context
Preston PCNs sit within NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB.
Preston PCNs work at the Royal Preston doorstep — a regional specialist centre — so complex polypharmacy and discharge reconciliation are over-represented in the BCS pipeline.
For care home medication reviews specifically, the Preston pathway typically integrates with Lancashire Teaching Hospitals (Royal Preston). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Preston 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.
