Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every prescribing cost and savings work placement in Leatherhead 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 prescribing cost and savings work for a Leatherhead 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

Leatherhead · local context

Leatherhead PCNs sit within the local South East ICB (Sussex, Surrey Heartlands, Kent and Medway, Hampshire and Isle of Wight, Frimley, or Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West).

Leatherhead PCNs cover a mixed urban/rural patch — BCS combines on-site pharmacist days with HSCN-secured remote prescribing for branch sites.

Why Leatherhead PCNs choose BCS for prescribing cost and savings work.

Solo recruitment for prescribing cost and savings work in Leatherhead 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 Leatherhead PCN starting your first prescribing cost and savings work programme, or a federation coordinating prescribing cost and savings work across multiple South East networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — Prescribing Cost & Savings in Leatherhead.

What savings are typical?+

PCN-level savings typically run £4-£8 per registered patient per year, often more in the first year.

Does BCS already deliver prescribing cost and savings work in Leatherhead?+

BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across South East from our Chiswick (West London) hub with paired cover from Halifax (West Yorkshire), and is actively delivering or available to mobilise prescribing cost and savings work in Leatherhead. 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 prescribing cost and savings work in Leatherhead?+

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