Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every controlled drugs governance placement in Framlingham 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 controlled drugs governance for a Framlingham 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

Framlingham · local context

Framlingham PCNs sit within the local East of England ICB (Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Norfolk and Waveney, Suffolk and North East Essex, Mid and South Essex, Hertfordshire and West Essex, or Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes).

Framlingham PCNs combine larger market-town practices with smaller rural branches — BCS combines on-site pharmacist days with HSCN-secured remote prescribing for the smaller sites.

Why Framlingham PCNs choose BCS for controlled drugs governance.

Solo recruitment for controlled drugs governance in Framlingham 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 Framlingham PCN starting your first controlled drugs governance programme, or a federation coordinating controlled drugs governance across multiple East of England networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — Controlled Drugs Governance in Framlingham.

Do you work with the CD Accountable Officer?+

Does BCS already deliver controlled drugs governance in Framlingham?+

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.
