Clinical Pharmacist Responsibilities in Richmond.
Dual-hub delivery
The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.
Every the clinical pharmacist scope of practice placement in Richmond 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 Richmond 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
Richmond · local context
Richmond PCNs sit within NHS South West London ICB.
Richmond PCNs cover an older, wealthier population with rising polypharmacy in over-75s — SMR throughput is the most measurable BCS metric here.
For the clinical pharmacist scope of practice specifically, the Richmond pathway often integrates with Kingston Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process so a Richmond Clinical Director never has to chase two systems for one outcome.

Why Richmond PCNs choose BCS for the clinical pharmacist scope of practice.
Solo recruitment for the clinical pharmacist scope of practice in Richmond 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 Richmond PCN starting your first the clinical pharmacist scope of practice programme, or a federation coordinating the clinical pharmacist scope of practice across multiple London networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.
Frequently asked questions — Clinical Pharmacist Responsibilities in Richmond.
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.

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.
