  • Monthly SMR completion report per practice and PCN

Why BCS

  • Weekly clinical supervision from a senior pharmacist at the Chiswick (West London) hub
  • Same-week sickness, leave and maternity cover — no service gap in Trowbridge

Frequently asked questions — Structured Medication Reviews in Trowbridge.

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.
