Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every ICB medicines optimisation programmes placement in Liskeard 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 ICB medicines optimisation programmes for a Liskeard 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

Liskeard PCNs sit within the local South West ICB (Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Somerset, Gloucestershire, or Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire).

Why Liskeard PCNs choose BCS for ICB medicines optimisation programmes.

Solo recruitment for ICB medicines optimisation programmes in Liskeard 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 Liskeard PCN starting your first ICB medicines optimisation programmes programme, or a federation coordinating ICB medicines optimisation programmes across multiple South West networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — Medicines Optimisation for ICBs in Liskeard.

Can BCS deliver a single ICB-wide programme?+

Yes — we are already commissioned at place level in West Yorkshire and mobilising in NW London.

Does BCS already deliver ICB medicines optimisation programmes in Liskeard?+

BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across South West from our Chiswick (West London) hub with paired cover from Halifax (West Yorkshire), and is actively delivering or available to mobilise ICB medicines optimisation programmes in Liskeard. 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 ICB medicines optimisation programmes in Liskeard?+

In most cases BCS mobilises ICB medicines optimisation programmes for a Liskeard PCN within 4 to 6 weeks of contract sign-off, with remote prescribing back-up available from the hub sooner if needed.
