Gloucester · local context

Gloucester PCNs sit within the local South West ICB (Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Somerset, Gloucestershire, or Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire).

Gloucester PCNs serve an older South West population with significant polypharmacy in over-75s — SMRs and care home in-reach dominate the BCS schedule.

Why Gloucester PCNs choose BCS for on-site clinical pharmacist support.

Solo recruitment for on-site clinical pharmacist support in Gloucester 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.
