Respiratory and Inhaler Reviews in Manchester.

Pharmacist-led respiratory and inhaler reviews — technique assessment, step-up/step-down decisions and lower-carbon inhaler switching where clinically appropriate. Delivered to Manchester 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.

Manchester · local context

Manchester PCNs sit within NHS Greater Manchester ICB (Manchester place).

Manchester PCNs work with MFT — England's largest acute trust — so discharge medicines reconciliation throughput is the single biggest BCS technician workstream.

For respiratory inhaler reviews specifically, the Manchester pathway typically integrates with Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.
