Enhanced Health in Care Homes Pharmacy · Preston
Enhanced Health in Care Homes Pharmacy in Preston.
Preston · local context
Preston PCNs sit within NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB.
Preston PCNs work at the Royal Preston doorstep — a regional specialist centre — so complex polypharmacy and discharge reconciliation are over-represented in the BCS pipeline.
For EHCH pharmacy support specifically, the Preston pathway typically integrates with Lancashire Teaching Hospitals (Royal Preston). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

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