Lambeth · NHS South East London ICB

Built for Lambeth PCNs.

BCS provides managed clinical pharmacist services for Primary Care Networks and GP practices in Lambeth. Every pharmacist is ARRS-compliant under Annex B of the Network Contract DES, weekly clinically supervised, and works in EMIS Web or SystmOne via the practice's existing smartcard pathways. Lambeth PCNs combine a young transient population with significant severe mental illness caseload — pharmacist-led physical health checks and high-risk drug monitoring move the IIF needle here.

Frequently asked questions — Lambeth.

Is BCS a managed clinical pharmacist provider in Lambeth?+

Yes. BCS is a managed clinical pharmacist service for PCNs and GP practices in Lambeth — we handle recruitment, employment, supervision, CPD, indemnity and leave cover, so the practice gets clinical capacity without the HR burden. Every role is ARRS-compliant against Annex B of the Network Contract DES.

How quickly can BCS deploy a clinical pharmacist into a Lambeth PCN?+

In most cases within 4 to 6 weeks of contract sign-off, with HSCN-secured remote prescribing back-up available sooner where capacity is urgent. ARRS underspend mobilisation runs on the same 6-week pathway.

Do BCS clinical pharmacists in Lambeth work in EMIS Web or SystmOne?+

Both. We work in EMIS Web and SystmOne via the practice's existing smartcard pathways and our own HSCN-secured infrastructure — no separate integration required.

How does BCS supervise pharmacists deployed in Lambeth?+

Every pharmacist has a named senior pharmacist supervisor. Supervision is weekly, documented and audit-ready — exactly the evidence ARRS audit and CQC inspection require. Lambeth PCNs combine a young transient population with significant severe mental illness caseload — pharmacist-led physical health checks and high-risk drug monitoring move the IIF needle here.
