Folkestone PCNs typically serve an older, wealthier population with rising polypharmacy in over-75s — SMR throughput is the single most measurable BCS metric here.

Why Folkestone PCNs choose BCS for high-risk drug monitoring.
Solo recruitment for high-risk drug monitoring in Folkestone 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.
