Leigh · local context

Leigh PCNs sit within NHS Greater Manchester ICB (Wigan place).

Leigh PCN is a three-year, 13-pharmacist BCS partnership — the model now offered across the North West, with continuous coverage through sickness, leave and turnover.

For pharmacy care navigation specifically, the Leigh pathway typically integrates with Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Leigh PCNs choose BCS for pharmacy care navigation.

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.
