Prescribing Safety Improvement in Merton.
Merton · local context
Merton PCNs sit within NHS South West London ICB.
Merton PCNs span the wealthier Wimbledon side and higher-deprivation Mitcham — pharmacist programmes sequence very differently across the borough.
For prescribing safety improvement specifically, the Merton pathway typically integrates with St George's and Epsom and St Helier. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Merton PCNs choose BCS for prescribing safety improvement.
Solo recruitment for prescribing safety improvement in Merton 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.
