Polypharmacy Review Service in Brent.
Brent · local context
Brent PCNs sit within NHS North West London ICB.
Brent PCNs serve a highly diverse population with CVD and diabetes risk well above the England average — pharmacist-led SMRs and high-risk drug monitoring are the highest-leverage BCS workstreams.
For polypharmacy reviews specifically, the Brent pathway typically integrates with London North West University Healthcare (Northwick Park) and Royal Free. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Brent PCNs choose BCS for polypharmacy reviews.
Solo recruitment for polypharmacy reviews in Brent 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.
