Talk to us about Merton How we start

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 repeat prescribing safety 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.
