Frequently asked questions — Wigston.

Is BCS a managed clinical pharmacist provider in Wigston?+

Yes. BCS is a managed clinical pharmacist service for PCNs and GP practices in Wigston — we handle recruitment, employment, supervision, CPD, indemnity and leave cover, so the practice gets clinical capacity without the HR burden. Every role is ARRS-compliant against Annex B of the Network Contract DES.

How quickly can BCS deploy a clinical pharmacist into a Wigston PCN?+

In most cases within 4 to 6 weeks of contract sign-off, with HSCN-secured remote prescribing back-up available sooner where capacity is urgent. ARRS underspend mobilisation runs on the same 6-week pathway.

Do BCS clinical pharmacists in Wigston work in EMIS Web or SystmOne?+

Both. We work in EMIS Web and SystmOne via the practice's existing smartcard pathways and our own HSCN-secured infrastructure — no separate integration required.

How does BCS supervise pharmacists deployed in Wigston?+

Every pharmacist has a named senior pharmacist supervisor. Supervision is weekly, documented and audit-ready — exactly the evidence ARRS audit and CQC inspection require. Wigston PCNs combine Oadby's older suburban list with South Wigston's higher deprivation — pharmacist cohorts split between SMRs and CVD prevention work.
