Pharmacist-led Deprescribing in Wigan.
Wigan · local context
Wigan PCNs sit within NHS Greater Manchester ICB (Wigan place).
Wigan PCNs benefit from the BCS Leigh partnership track record — 13 pharmacists, three years, continuous coverage — now offered across the wider Wigan place footprint.
For deprescribing specifically, the Wigan pathway typically integrates with Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

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