GP Workload Reduction Programme in Bolton.
Bolton · local context
Bolton PCNs sit within NHS Greater Manchester ICB (Bolton place).
Bolton PCNs serve a diverse population with high diabetes prevalence and notable CVD risk — pharmacist-led SMRs and high-risk drug monitoring drive the BCS programme.
For GP workload reduction specifically, the Bolton pathway typically integrates with Bolton NHS Foundation Trust. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Bolton PCNs choose BCS for GP workload reduction.
