Talk to us about Manchester How we start

Manchester · local context

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

Manchester PCNs work with MFT — England's largest acute trust — so discharge medicines reconciliation throughput is the single biggest BCS technician workstream.

For pharmacy-led clinical audits specifically, the Manchester pathway typically integrates with Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Manchester PCNs choose BCS for pharmacy-led clinical audits.

Solo recruitment for pharmacy-led clinical audits in Manchester leaves a network exposed to sickness, maternity and retention risk, and rarely meets the supervision standard ICBs now ask for. 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.
