Medicines Safety Programme in Birmingham.
Birmingham · local context
Birmingham PCNs sit within NHS Birmingham and Solihull ICB.
Birmingham PCNs work with University Hospitals Birmingham — one of the largest acute trusts in Europe — so discharge reconciliation runs as a continuous BCS technician workstream.
For medicines safety programme specifically, the Birmingham pathway typically integrates with University Hospitals Birmingham (QE, Heartlands, Good Hope). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.
