Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every practice-level clinical pharmacist support placement in Lincoln is mobilised from one of our two clinical hubs — Halifax (West Yorkshire) as the lead and Chiswick (West London) as paired cover. The dual-hub model is unique to BCS: no other clinical pharmacy provider in the UK runs Northern and Southern hubs with shared SOPs, shared supervision and same-week cross-cover. That is what guarantees continuity of practice-level clinical pharmacist support for a Lincoln PCN through sickness, leave and turnover.

  • Lead delivery from the BCS Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub
  • Paired cover from BCS Chiswick (West London) — same SOPs, same supervision
  • Same-week sickness, leave and maternity cover guaranteed
  • ARRS-compliant, GPhC-registered, IP-qualified workforce
  • One SLA, one report, one escalation point

Lincoln · local context

Lincoln PCNs sit within the local East Midlands ICB (Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland; Nottingham and Nottinghamshire; Derby and Derbyshire; Lincolnshire; or Northamptonshire).

Lincoln PCNs serve a diverse, growing population with notable diabetes prevalence — pharmacist-led SMRs and CVD optimisation drive the BCS pipeline.

Why Lincoln PCNs choose BCS for practice-level clinical pharmacist support.

Solo recruitment for practice-level clinical pharmacist support in Lincoln 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.

Whether you are a single Lincoln PCN starting your first practice-level clinical pharmacist support programme, or a federation coordinating practice-level clinical pharmacist support across multiple East Midlands networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — Clinical Pharmacists for GP Practices in Lincoln.

Can the pharmacist work inside our GP practice list?+

Yes — BCS pharmacists work on your clinical system (EMIS or SystmOne) under your information governance, with full DSPT and Cyber Essentials cover from our side.

How is this different from an ARRS PCN role?+

This is single-practice deployment. The funding source can be ARRS via your PCN, practice funds or a hybrid — we mobilise to whichever model the practice and PCN agree.

Does BCS already deliver practice-level clinical pharmacist support in Lincoln?+

BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across East Midlands from our Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub with paired cover from Chiswick (West London), and is actively delivering or available to mobilise practice-level clinical pharmacist support in Lincoln. Get in touch and we'll confirm current capacity.

What makes the dual-hub model different?+

BCS is the only UK clinical pharmacy provider running both a Northern (Halifax) and Southern (Chiswick) hub. That means same-week cross-cover, one SOP set across the country, and no service gap when staff are off — something single-hub or single-region providers cannot match.

How quickly can BCS mobilise practice-level clinical pharmacist support in Lincoln?+

In most cases BCS mobilises practice-level clinical pharmacist support for a Lincoln PCN within 4 to 6 weeks of contract sign-off, with remote prescribing back-up available from the hub sooner if needed.
