GP Workload Reduction Programme · Southwark
GP Workload Reduction Programme in Southwark.
Southwark · local context
Southwark PCNs sit within NHS South East London ICB.
Southwark PCNs sit between King's and Guy's & St Thomas', so timely discharge medicines reconciliation is the single highest-leverage pharmacist activity for the network.
For GP workload reduction specifically, the Southwark pathway typically integrates with King's College Hospital and Guy's and St Thomas'. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Southwark PCNs choose BCS for GP workload reduction.

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.
