Pharmacist-led Deprescribing in Richmond.
Richmond · local context
Richmond PCNs sit within NHS South West London ICB.
Richmond PCNs cover an older, wealthier population with rising polypharmacy in over-75s — SMR throughput is the most measurable BCS metric here.
For deprescribing specifically, the Richmond pathway typically integrates with Kingston Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Richmond PCNs choose BCS for deprescribing.
Solo recruitment for deprescribing in Richmond 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 Chiswick (West London)/Halifax (West Yorkshire) dual-hub.
