Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every biosimilar and formulary switches placement in Enfield 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 biosimilar and formulary switches for a Enfield 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

Enfield · local context

Enfield PCNs sit within NHS North Central London ICB.

Enfield PCNs combine high-deprivation eastern wards with leafier western practices on the same network list — pharmacist sequencing varies materially practice to practice.

For biosimilar and formulary switches specifically, the Enfield pathway often integrates with Royal Free London (Chase Farm) and North Middlesex. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process so a Enfield Clinical Director never has to chase two systems for one outcome.

Why Enfield PCNs choose BCS for biosimilar and formulary switches.

Solo recruitment for biosimilar and formulary switches in Enfield 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 Enfield PCN starting your first biosimilar and formulary switches programme, or a federation coordinating biosimilar and formulary switches across multiple London networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — Biosimilars & Switches in Enfield.

Do you run the patient consent process?+

Yes — every switch includes pharmacist-led counselling and consent capture.

Does BCS already deliver biosimilar and formulary switches in Enfield?+

BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across London from our Chiswick (West London) hub with paired cover from Halifax (West Yorkshire), and is actively delivering or available to mobilise biosimilar and formulary switches in Enfield. 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 biosimilar and formulary switches in Enfield?+

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