Opioid Prescribing Review in Chester.
Chester · local context
Chester PCNs sit within NHS Cheshire and Merseyside ICB.
Chester PCNs serve a mixed urban/rural West Cheshire patch — pharmacist programmes balance polypharmacy in over-75s with on-site days across smaller branch sites.
For opioid prescribing review specifically, the Chester pathway typically integrates with Countess of Chester Hospital. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.
