Medicines Optimisation for GP Practices in Old Hill.
Dual-hub delivery
The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.
Every practice-level medicines optimisation placement in Old Hill 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 practice-level medicines optimisation for a Old Hill 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
Old Hill · local context
Old Hill PCNs sit within the local West Midlands ICB (Birmingham and Solihull, Black Country, Coventry and Warwickshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, Shropshire/Telford and Wrekin, or Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent).
Old Hill PCNs combine larger urban practices with smaller market-town branches — BCS combines on-site pharmacist days with HSCN-secured remote prescribing for the smaller sites.

Why Old Hill PCNs choose BCS for practice-level medicines optimisation.
Solo recruitment for practice-level medicines optimisation in Old Hill 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 Old Hill PCN starting your first practice-level medicines optimisation programme, or a federation coordinating practice-level medicines optimisation across multiple West Midlands networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.
Frequently asked questions — Medicines Optimisation for GP Practices in Old Hill.
Will this reduce GP medicines workload?+
Yes — most practices see prescription query volume fall 30-50% in the first 90 days.
Does BCS already deliver practice-level medicines optimisation in Old Hill?+
BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across West Midlands from our Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub with paired cover from Chiswick (West London), and is actively delivering or available to mobilise practice-level medicines optimisation in Old Hill. 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.
