Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every the clinical pharmacist business case placement in Hammersmith 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 business case for a Hammersmith 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

Hammersmith · local context

Hammersmith PCNs sit within NHS North West London ICB.

Hammersmith PCNs sit between Imperial's Hammersmith and Charing Cross sites, so discharge medicines reconciliation runs as a continuous, not episodic, pharmacist workstream.

For the clinical pharmacist business case specifically, the Hammersmith pathway often integrates with Imperial College Healthcare (Hammersmith and Charing Cross). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process so a Hammersmith Clinical Director never has to chase two systems for one outcome.

Why Hammersmith PCNs choose BCS for the clinical pharmacist business case.

Solo recruitment for the clinical pharmacist business case in Hammersmith 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 Hammersmith PCN starting your first the clinical pharmacist business case programme, or a federation coordinating the clinical pharmacist business case across multiple London networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.
