Prescribing Safety Improvement in Chester.
Chester · local context
Chester PCNs sit within NHS Cheshire and Merseyside ICB.
Chester PCNs serve a mixed urban/rural West Cheshire patch — pharmacist programmes balance polypharmacy in over-75s with on-site days across smaller branch sites.
For prescribing safety improvement specifically, the Chester pathway typically integrates with Countess of Chester Hospital. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Chester PCNs choose BCS for prescribing safety improvement.
Solo recruitment for prescribing safety improvement in Chester 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 Halifax (West Yorkshire)/Chiswick (West London) dual-hub.
