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