Pharmacist-led Deprescribing in Southwark.
Southwark · local context
Southwark PCNs sit within NHS South East London ICB.
Southwark PCNs sit between King's and Guy's & St Thomas', so timely discharge medicines reconciliation is the single highest-leverage pharmacist activity for the network.
For deprescribing specifically, the Southwark pathway typically integrates with King's College Hospital and Guy's and St Thomas'. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

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