Hounslow · local context

Hounslow PCNs sit within NHS North West London ICB.

Hounslow PCNs cover a fast-growing, diverse population around Heathrow with high diabetes and CVD risk — pharmacist throughput on structured medication reviews is the binding QOF lever.

For EHCH pharmacy support specifically, the Hounslow pathway typically integrates with Chelsea and Westminster (West Middlesex). 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.
