Structured Medication Reviews for Bungay PCNs and GP practices.

Bespoke Clinical Services delivers structured medication reviews to Primary Care Networks and GP practices in Bungay and across East of England. Every placement in Bungay is governed by the same compliance stack we run nationally — Cyber Essentials, NHS DSPT, GPhC-registered pharmacists, full clinical indemnity and DPIA documentation per contract. The Bungay service is mobilised from our Chiswick (West London) hub.

PCN Clinical Directors and Practice Managers in Bungay get a single SLA, a single monthly outcomes report and a single escalation point — the BCS managed model, applied to structured medication reviews specifically.

What we deliver

What structured medication reviews in Bungay actually looks like.

  • Cohort identification from clinical system searches (EMIS / SystmOne)
  • Prioritised lists for over-75s polypharmacy, care home residents and frailty
  • Face-to-face, telephone or video SMRs as patients prefer
  • Independent prescribing built in — changes happen during the review
  • QA-checked notes and coding against IIF SMR indicators
  • Monthly SMR completion report per practice and PCN

Why BCS

Why Bungay PCNs choose BCS for structured medication reviews.

Solo recruitment for structured medication reviews in Bungay leaves a PCN exposed to sickness, maternity and retention risk, and rarely meets the supervision standard required for ARRS audit. BCS removes all of that — pharmacists are part of a clinical team, supervision is built in, cover is guaranteed and outcomes are evidenced every month.

  • Weekly clinical supervision from a senior pharmacist at the Chiswick (West London) hub
  • Same-week sickness, leave and maternity cover — no service gap in Bungay
  • Mobilisation in 4–6 weeks, not 4–6 months
  • Outcomes reported against PCN DES 2026/27, IIF and QOF
  • One SLA, one report, one escalation point for the Bungay clinical director

Frequently asked questions — Structured Medication Reviews in Bungay.

Are SMRs counted against our IIF target?+

Yes — every SMR is coded against the relevant SNOMED codes for IIF SMR indicators and reported back to you in the monthly outcomes pack.

Can you cover care homes specifically?+

Yes. Care home SMRs are one of our most-requested cohorts. We deliver them in-reach to the home and combine the review with deprescribing recommendations and falls-risk medicines audit.

What about complex patients we'd normally keep with the GP?+

Our prescribers handle complexity — we escalate only the cases that genuinely need a GP decision, with a clear ask. The default is the SMR is closed in one contact.
