Peterborough · local context

Peterborough PCNs sit within NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough ICB.

Peterborough PCNs serve a fast-growing, diverse population with notable diabetes prevalence — pharmacist-led SMRs and CVD optimisation drive the BCS pipeline.

For SMR service specifically, the Peterborough pathway typically integrates with North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust (Peterborough City). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Peterborough PCNs choose BCS for SMR service.

Solo recruitment for SMR service in Peterborough 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.
