Respiratory and Inhaler Reviews in Merton.

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

Merton · local context

Merton PCNs sit within NHS South West London ICB.

Merton PCNs span the wealthier Wimbledon side and higher-deprivation Mitcham — pharmacist programmes sequence very differently across the borough.

For respiratory inhaler reviews specifically, the Merton pathway typically integrates with St George's and Epsom and St Helier. 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.
