GP Workload Reduction Programme in Redruth.

A pharmacist- and technician-led programme designed specifically to take work off the GP's desk — repeat queries, medication letters, discharge reconciliation and high-risk monitoring. Delivered to Redruth 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.

Redruth · local context

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

Redruth 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.

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.
