Pharmacist-led Deprescribing in Liverpool.
Liverpool · local context
Liverpool PCNs sit within NHS Cheshire and Merseyside ICB.
Liverpool PCNs work with Liverpool University Hospitals on discharge reconciliation and cover England's highest-deprivation core city — pharmacist programmes focus on CVD, COPD and severe mental illness physical health.
For deprescribing specifically, the Liverpool pathway typically integrates with Liverpool University Hospitals (Royal and Aintree). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

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