Huntingdon · local context

Huntingdon PCNs sit within the local East of England ICB (Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Norfolk and Waveney, Suffolk and North East Essex, Mid and South Essex, Hertfordshire and West Essex, or Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes).

Huntingdon PCNs serve a mixed urban/rural East Anglia patch with rising care home demand — pharmacist programmes balance SMRs and discharge reconciliation in roughly equal measure.

Why Huntingdon PCNs choose BCS for polypharmacy reviews.

Solo recruitment for polypharmacy reviews in Huntingdon 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.
