Valproate Safety Programme in Islington.
Islington · local context
Islington PCNs sit within NHS North Central London ICB.
Islington PCNs combine dense inner-city polypharmacy with significant young-adult mental health prescribing — a workload mix that rewards a multidisciplinary BCS pharmacist team rather than a single hire.
For valproate safety specifically, the Islington pathway typically integrates with Whittington Health and UCLH. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Islington PCNs choose BCS for valproate safety.
Solo recruitment for valproate safety in Islington 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.
