Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every PCN-scale medicines optimisation placement in Crawley 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 PCN-scale medicines optimisation for a Crawley 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

Why Crawley PCNs choose BCS for PCN-scale medicines optimisation.

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

Frequently asked questions — Medicines Optimisation for PCNs in Crawley.

How does this integrate with our clinical pharmacist team?+

We deliver both — the workforce and the optimisation programme are one contract.

Does BCS already deliver PCN-scale medicines optimisation in Crawley?+

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 PCN-scale medicines optimisation in Crawley. 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 PCN-scale medicines optimisation in Crawley?+

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