Compliance & Security
NHS-grade security. CQC-ready evidence.
BCS delivers against NHS-level standards across every area of service delivery — so your PCN has peace of mind, and your inspections have the evidence they need.
Security
How we stay secure.
BCS pharmacists never work from their own laptops. Every device is issued, encrypted and managed by BCS — that's the only way we can guarantee NHS-grade security across every PCN we support.
- BCS-issued, encrypted laptops only — personal devices are not permitted
- Cyber Essentials certified
- Own HSCN network
- DPIA provided with every contract
- NHS data security compliant
- Live monitoring of IT systems
- DSPT compliant — all standards met
CQC
Inspection-ready medicines evidence.
- Safe repeat prescribing systems
- High-risk drug monitoring with audit trails
- Documented medicines reconciliation
- Structured review processes
- Aligned policies and SOPs from the BCS intranet
- Incident learning and improvement cycles
Insurance & indemnity
Fully insured. Fully accountable.
Because BCS employs every pharmacist and takes ownership of their workload, training and supervision, we carry the full insurance stack a managed clinical provider needs — and every pharmacist holds their own personal clinical indemnity on top.
- Medical negligence / clinical malpractice insurance covering every BCS pharmacist
- Vicarious liability cover — BCS stands behind the clinical work delivered to your PCN
- Public liability insurance
- Employers' liability insurance (BCS is the employer of record)
- Each pharmacist holds individual professional indemnity insurance as a condition of deployment
- Certificates of insurance shared with every PCN at contract signature
