Enhanced Health in Care Homes Pharmacy in Cambridge.
Cambridge · local context
Cambridge PCNs sit within NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough ICB.
Cambridge PCNs work at the Addenbrooke's doorstep — a national specialist centre — so complex polypharmacy and discharge reconciliation are over-represented in the BCS pipeline.
For EHCH pharmacy support specifically, the Cambridge pathway typically integrates with Cambridge University Hospitals (Addenbrooke's). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Cambridge PCNs choose BCS for EHCH pharmacy support.
Solo recruitment for EHCH pharmacy support in Cambridge 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.
