Dual-hub delivery
The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.
Every the clinical pharmacist scope of practice placement in Chippenham 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 the clinical pharmacist scope of practice for a Chippenham PCN through sickness, leave and turnover.

Why Chippenham PCNs choose BCS for the clinical pharmacist scope of practice.
Solo recruitment for the clinical pharmacist scope of practice in Chippenham 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 Chippenham PCN starting your first the clinical pharmacist scope of practice programme, or a federation coordinating the clinical pharmacist scope of practice across multiple South West networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.
Frequently asked questions — Clinical Pharmacist Responsibilities in Chippenham.
Are BCS pharmacists IP-qualified?+
The majority are GPhC-registered Independent Prescribers. Where the role does not require IP we deploy senior clinical pharmacists with IP-track supervision.

BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across South West from our Chiswick (West London) hub with paired cover from Halifax (West Yorkshire), and is actively delivering or available to mobilise the clinical pharmacist scope of practice in Chippenham. Get in touch and we'll confirm current capacity.

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.
