Care Home Medication Review Service in Richmond.
Richmond · local context
Richmond PCNs sit within NHS South West London ICB.
Richmond PCNs cover an older, wealthier population with rising polypharmacy in over-75s — SMR throughput is the most measurable BCS metric here.
For care home medication reviews specifically, the Richmond pathway typically integrates with Kingston Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Richmond 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 Chiswick (West London)/Halifax (West Yorkshire) dual-hub.
