Structured Medication Reviews for Leeds PCNs and GP practices.

Bespoke Clinical Services delivers structured medication reviews to Primary Care Networks and GP practices in Leeds and across Yorkshire & Humber. Every placement in Leeds 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 Leeds service is mobilised from our Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub.

PCN Clinical Directors and Practice Managers in Leeds 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 Leeds 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 Leeds PCNs choose BCS for structured medication reviews.

Solo recruitment for structured medication reviews in Leeds 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 Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub
  • Same-week sickness, leave and maternity cover — no service gap in Leeds
  • 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 Leeds clinical director

Leeds in context — Yorkshire & Humber.

BCS works alongside Clinical Directors, Practice Managers and ICB Medicines Optimisation teams across Yorkshire & Humberto turn pharmacist capacity into measurable change.

Whether you are a single PCN in Leeds planning your first structured medication reviews placement, or a federation co-ordinating cover across multiple Yorkshire & Humber networks, BCS scales to fit.

Frequently asked questions — Structured Medication Reviews in Leeds.

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.
