GP Workload Reduction Programme in Wigan.
Wigan · local context
Wigan PCNs sit within NHS Greater Manchester ICB (Wigan place).
Wigan PCNs benefit from the BCS Leigh partnership track record — 13 pharmacists, three years, continuous coverage — now offered across the wider Wigan place footprint.
For GP workload reduction specifically, the Wigan pathway typically integrates with Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Wigan PCNs choose BCS for GP workload reduction.
