Clinical pharmacist services in Redbridge.
Redbridge · NHS North East London ICB
Built for Redbridge PCNs.
BCS provides managed clinical pharmacist services for Primary Care Networks and GP practices in Redbridge. 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. Redbridge PCNs serve one of England's most South Asian populations with very high diabetes prevalence — culturally competent pharmacist-led SMRs are the single biggest QOF driver.
