Valproate Safety Programme in York.
York · local context
York PCNs sit within NHS Humber and North Yorkshire ICB.
York PCNs serve an older, wealthier population with rising polypharmacy in over-75s — SMR throughput and care home in-reach drive the BCS schedule.
For valproate safety specifically, the York pathway typically integrates with York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why York PCNs choose BCS for valproate safety.
Solo recruitment for valproate safety in York 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 Halifax (West Yorkshire)/Chiswick (West London) dual-hub.
