Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every care home medicines optimisation placement in Havant 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 care home medicines optimisation for a Havant 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

Havant · local context

Havant 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).

Havant PCNs sit close to a major South East acute trust, so discharge medicines reconciliation runs as a continuous BCS technician workstream.

Why Havant PCNs choose BCS for care home medicines optimisation.

Solo recruitment for care home medicines optimisation in Havant 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 Havant PCN starting your first care home medicines optimisation programme, or a federation coordinating care home medicines optimisation across multiple South East networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — Care Home Medicines Optimisation in Havant.

Do you work to the EHCH DES specification?+

Yes — every care home round is documented to EHCH evidence standards.

Does BCS already deliver care home medicines optimisation in Havant?+

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 care home medicines optimisation in Havant. 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.
