Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every the clinical pharmacist business case placement in Retford 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 business case for a Retford PCN through sickness, leave and turnover.

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

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