Pharmacist-led Deprescribing in Birmingham.
Birmingham · local context
Birmingham PCNs sit within NHS Birmingham and Solihull ICB.
Birmingham PCNs work with University Hospitals Birmingham — one of the largest acute trusts in Europe — so discharge reconciliation runs as a continuous BCS technician workstream.
For deprescribing specifically, the Birmingham pathway typically integrates with University Hospitals Birmingham (QE, Heartlands, Good Hope). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Birmingham PCNs choose BCS for deprescribing.
Solo recruitment for deprescribing in Birmingham 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.
