Talk to us about Brighton How we start

Brighton · local context

Brighton PCNs sit within NHS Sussex ICB.

Brighton PCNs combine a young urban population with significant LGBTQ+ health needs and pockets of deprivation along the coast — pharmacist programmes flex accordingly.

For discharge reconciliation specifically, the Brighton pathway typically integrates with University Hospitals Sussex (Royal Sussex County Hospital). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Brighton PCNs choose BCS for discharge reconciliation.

Solo recruitment for discharge reconciliation in Brighton 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.
