Prescribing Safety Audit · Kensington

Prescribing Safety Audit in Kensington.

PINCER-style prescribing safety audits delivered by clinical pharmacists — with practice-level action plans, repeat-cycle re-audit and CQC-ready evidence packs. Delivered to Kensington PCNs and GP practices from the BCS Chiswick (West London) hub, with paired cover from our Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub — the only UK dual-hub clinical pharmacy model.

Kensington · local context

Kensington PCNs sit within NHS North West London ICB.

Kensington PCNs cover one of the widest health inequality gradients in the country — pharmacist programmes flex between Notting Hill estates and high-net-worth Kensington blocks on the same list.

For prescribing safety audit specifically, the Kensington pathway typically integrates with Chelsea and Westminster and Imperial. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.
