Newham · local context

Newham PCNs sit within NHS North East London ICB.

Newham PCNs serve England's most ethnically diverse borough, with diabetes prevalence and CVD risk well above the London average — a textbook fit for BCS-led structured medication reviews.

For prescribing safety audit specifically, the Newham pathway typically integrates with Barts Health (Newham University Hospital). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.
