Long-Term Condition Reviews in Portsmouth.

Pharmacist-led long-term condition reviews aligned with QOF — CVD, T2DM, respiratory, CKD — using independent prescribing to optimise titration and patient outcomes. Delivered to Portsmouth PCNs and GP practices from the BCS Chiswick (West London) hub, with paired cover from our Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub — the only UK dual-hub clinical pharmacy model.

Portsmouth · local context

Portsmouth PCNs sit within NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB.

Portsmouth PCNs cover one of the south coast's most deprived urban patches — pharmacist programmes lean on CVD optimisation and high-risk drug monitoring.

For LTC reviews specifically, the Portsmouth pathway typically integrates with Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (Queen Alexandra). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

BCS removes all of that — pharmacists are part of a clinical team, supervision is built in, and continuity is guaranteed by the Chiswick (West London)/Halifax (West Yorkshire) dual-hub.
