Portsmouth · local context
Portsmouth PCNs sit within NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB.
Portsmouth PCNs cover one of the south coast's most deprived urban patches — pharmacist programmes lean on CVD optimisation and high-risk drug monitoring.
For EHCH pharmacy support specifically, the Portsmouth pathway typically integrates with Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (Queen Alexandra). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Portsmouth PCNs choose BCS for EHCH pharmacy support.

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.
