Hyde · local context

Why Hyde PCNs choose BCS for deprescribing.

Solo recruitment for deprescribing in Hyde 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.
