Gloucester · local context

Gloucester PCNs serve an older South West population with significant polypharmacy in over-75s — SMRs and care home in-reach dominate the BCS schedule.

Why Gloucester PCNs choose BCS for repeat prescribing support.

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.
