Polypharmacy Review Service in Hammersmith.
Hammersmith · local context
Hammersmith PCNs sit within NHS North West London ICB.
Hammersmith PCNs sit between Imperial's Hammersmith and Charing Cross sites, so discharge medicines reconciliation runs as a continuous, not episodic, pharmacist workstream.
For polypharmacy reviews specifically, the Hammersmith pathway typically integrates with Imperial College Healthcare (Hammersmith and Charing Cross). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Hammersmith PCNs choose BCS for polypharmacy reviews.

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.
