Valproate Safety Programme · Ealing

Valproate Safety Programme in Ealing.

Pharmacist-owned valproate safety programme — annual PPP review, ARAF documentation and prescribing change support, with audit-ready evidence. Delivered to Ealing 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.

Ealing · local context

Ealing PCNs sit within NHS North West London ICB.

Ealing PCNs serve one of London's most ethnically diverse populations with high diabetes prevalence — SMRs, CVD optimisation and culturally competent medication counselling drive the IIF score.

For valproate safety specifically, the Ealing pathway typically integrates with London North West University Healthcare (Ealing and Northwick Park). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process.

Why Ealing PCNs choose BCS for valproate safety.

Solo recruitment for valproate safety in Ealing 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.
