Structured Medication Review Service · Oldham
Structured Medication Review Service in Oldham.
Oldham · local context
Oldham PCNs sit within NHS Greater Manchester ICB (Oldham place).
Oldham PCNs serve a diverse, high-deprivation population with significant diabetes and CVD burden — pharmacist-led SMRs and CVD prevention are the highest-leverage BCS work.
For SMR service specifically, the Oldham pathway typically integrates with Northern Care Alliance (Royal Oldham). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Oldham PCNs choose BCS for SMR service.
Solo recruitment for SMR service in Oldham 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 Halifax (West Yorkshire)/Chiswick (West London) dual-hub.
