Structured Medication Review Service · Brighton
Structured Medication Review Service in Brighton.
Brighton · local context
Brighton PCNs sit within NHS Sussex ICB.
Brighton PCNs combine a young urban population with significant LGBTQ+ health needs and pockets of deprivation along the coast — pharmacist programmes flex accordingly.
For SMR service specifically, the Brighton pathway typically integrates with University Hospitals Sussex (Royal Sussex County Hospital). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Brighton PCNs choose BCS for SMR service.
Solo recruitment for SMR service in Brighton leaves a network exposed to sickness, maternity and retention risk, and rarely meets the supervision standard ICBs now ask for. 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.
