Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

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

Wetherby · local context

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

Why Wetherby PCNs choose BCS for care home medicines optimisation.

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

Frequently asked questions — Care Home Medicines Optimisation in Wetherby.

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

What makes the dual-hub model different?+
