Talk to us about Portsmouth How we start

Portsmouth · local context

Portsmouth PCNs sit within NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB.

Portsmouth PCNs cover one of the south coast's most deprived urban patches — pharmacist programmes lean on CVD optimisation and high-risk drug monitoring.

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

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

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.
