Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every ICB-level pharmacist programmes placement in Henley on Thames is mobilised from one of our two clinical hubs — Chiswick (West London) as the lead and Halifax (West Yorkshire) 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 ICB-level pharmacist programmes for a Henley on Thames PCN through sickness, leave and turnover.

  • Lead delivery from the BCS Chiswick (West London) hub
  • Paired cover from BCS Halifax (West Yorkshire) — 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

Why Henley on Thames PCNs choose BCS for ICB-level pharmacist programmes.

Solo recruitment for ICB-level pharmacist programmes in Henley on Thames 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.

Whether you are a single Henley on Thames PCN starting your first ICB-level pharmacist programmes programme, or a federation coordinating ICB-level pharmacist programmes across multiple South East networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — Clinical Pharmacists for ICBs in Henley on Thames.

Can BCS take on ICB-level commissioning?+
