Tower Hamlets · local context

Tower Hamlets PCNs sit within NHS North East London ICB.

Tower Hamlets PCNs work with one of England's youngest and most South Asian populations — diabetes, CVD prevention and high-risk drug monitoring dominate the SMR pipeline.

For deprescribing specifically, the Tower Hamlets pathway typically integrates with Barts Health (Royal London). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

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.
