Respiratory and Inhaler Reviews in Blackpool.

Pharmacist-led respiratory and inhaler reviews — technique assessment, step-up/step-down decisions and lower-carbon inhaler switching where clinically appropriate. Delivered to Blackpool PCNs and GP practices from the BCS Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub, with paired cover from our Chiswick (West London) hub — the only UK dual-hub clinical pharmacy model.

Blackpool · local context

Blackpool PCNs sit within NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB.

Blackpool PCNs cover one of England's most deprived patches with notable CVD, COPD and substance-misuse comorbidity — pharmacist-led SMRs and high-risk drug monitoring drive the BCS schedule.

For respiratory inhaler reviews specifically, the Blackpool pathway typically integrates with Blackpool Teaching Hospitals. 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 Halifax (West Yorkshire)/Chiswick (West London) dual-hub.
