Enhanced Health in Care Homes Pharmacy · Loughborough

Enhanced Health in Care Homes Pharmacy in Loughborough.

Pharmacist-led delivery of the Enhanced Health in Care Homes service requirement — weekly home rounds, MDT participation, structured medication reviews and deprescribing. Delivered to Loughborough PCNs and GP practices from the BCS Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub, with paired cover from our Chiswick (West London) hub — the only UK dual-hub clinical pharmacy model.

Loughborough · local context

Loughborough PCNs sit within NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland ICB.

Loughborough PCNs combine Charnwood's older population with the largest student population per capita in the East Midlands — pharmacist cohorts split between care home in-reach and contraception/travel work.

For EHCH pharmacy support specifically, the Loughborough pathway typically integrates with University Hospitals of Leicester. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Loughborough PCNs choose BCS for EHCH pharmacy support.

Solo recruitment for EHCH pharmacy support in Loughborough 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.
