Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every biosimilar and formulary switches placement in Tottenham 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 Tottenham 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

Tottenham · local context

Tottenham PCNs sit within the relevant London ICB (NW, NC, NE, SE or SW London).

Tottenham PCNs operate inside one of England's most diverse and deprivation-mixed health economies — pharmacist programmes have to sequence by practice list, not by borough.

Why Tottenham PCNs choose BCS for biosimilar and formulary switches.

Solo recruitment for biosimilar and formulary switches in Tottenham 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 Tottenham 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 Tottenham.

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 Tottenham?+

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 Tottenham. 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 Tottenham?+

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