Talk to us about Bristol How we start

Bristol · local context

Bristol PCNs sit within NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire ICB.

Bristol PCNs work across two major acute trusts — UHBW and North Bristol — so discharge medicines reconciliation runs as a continuous, cross-trust BCS technician workstream.

For Network Contract DES delivery specifically, the Bristol pathway typically integrates with University Hospitals Bristol and Weston, and North Bristol. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.
