Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every the clinical pharmacist scope of practice placement in Eastwood 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 the clinical pharmacist scope of practice for a Eastwood 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

Why Eastwood PCNs choose BCS for the clinical pharmacist scope of practice.

Solo recruitment for the clinical pharmacist scope of practice in Eastwood 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 Eastwood PCN starting your first the clinical pharmacist scope of practice programme, or a federation coordinating the clinical pharmacist scope of practice across multiple East Midlands networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — Clinical Pharmacist Responsibilities in Eastwood.

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.

Does BCS already deliver the clinical pharmacist scope of practice in Eastwood?+

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 the clinical pharmacist scope of practice in Eastwood. 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 the clinical pharmacist scope of practice in Eastwood?+

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