Reading · local context
Reading PCNs sit within NHS Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West ICB.
Reading PCNs serve a diverse, growing population with notable diabetes prevalence — pharmacist-led SMRs and CVD optimisation drive the BCS pipeline.

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