Enhanced Health in Care Homes Pharmacy · Weston-super-Mare

Enhanced Health in Care Homes Pharmacy in Weston-super-Mare.

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

Weston-super-Mare · local context

Weston-super-Mare PCNs sit within the local South West ICB (Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Somerset, Gloucestershire, or Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire).

Weston-super-Mare PCNs cover a large rural-tilted catchment, so face-to-face pharmacist time is sequenced around branch sites and care homes — HSCN-secured remote prescribing closes the gap.

Why Weston-super-Mare PCNs choose BCS for EHCH pharmacy support.

Solo recruitment for EHCH pharmacy support in Weston-super-Mare 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.
