Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

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

Todmorden · local context

Todmorden PCNs sit within the local Yorkshire ICB (West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, or Humber and North Yorkshire).

Why Todmorden PCNs choose BCS for controlled drugs governance.

Solo recruitment for controlled drugs governance in Todmorden 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 Todmorden PCN starting your first controlled drugs governance programme, or a federation coordinating controlled drugs governance across multiple Yorkshire & Humber networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — Controlled Drugs Governance in Todmorden.

Do you work with the CD Accountable Officer?+

Yes — every report is built to the AO evidence standard.

Does BCS already deliver controlled drugs governance in Todmorden?+

BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across Yorkshire & Humber from our Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub with paired cover from Chiswick (West London), and is actively delivering or available to mobilise controlled drugs governance in Todmorden. 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.

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