Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every antimicrobial stewardship placement in Narborough 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 antimicrobial stewardship for a Narborough 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
  • One SLA, one report, one escalation point

Narborough · local context

Narborough PCNs sit within the local East Midlands ICB (Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland; Nottingham and Nottinghamshire; Derby and Derbyshire; Lincolnshire; or Northamptonshire).

Narborough PCNs serve a mixed urban/rural East Midlands patch with rising care home demand — pharmacist programmes balance SMRs and discharge reconciliation in roughly equal measure.

Why Narborough PCNs choose BCS for antimicrobial stewardship.

Solo recruitment for antimicrobial stewardship in Narborough 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 Narborough PCN starting your first antimicrobial stewardship programme, or a federation coordinating antimicrobial stewardship across multiple East Midlands networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — Antimicrobial Stewardship in Narborough.

Do you align to the national AMS targets?+

Yes — every programme is mapped to the latest NHS England AMS and IIF AMS indicators.

Does BCS already deliver antimicrobial stewardship in Narborough?+

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 antimicrobial stewardship in Narborough. 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 antimicrobial stewardship in Narborough?+

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