Sevenoaks · local context

Sevenoaks PCNs sit within the local South East ICB (Sussex, Surrey Heartlands, Kent and Medway, Hampshire and Isle of Wight, Frimley, or Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West).

Sevenoaks PCNs combine commuter-belt practices with pockets of coastal or rural deprivation — pharmacist sequencing varies materially practice to practice.

Why Sevenoaks 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.
