Talk to us about Wigan How we start

Wigan · local context

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

Wigan PCNs benefit from the BCS Leigh partnership track record — 13 pharmacists, three years, continuous coverage — now offered across the wider Wigan place footprint.

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

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.
