Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every formulary adherence work placement in Blaby 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 formulary adherence work for a Blaby 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

Blaby · local context

Blaby PCNs sit within the local East Midlands ICB (Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland; Nottingham and Nottinghamshire; Derby and Derbyshire; Lincolnshire; or Northamptonshire).

Blaby PCNs work close to a named East Midlands acute trust on discharge reconciliation, which BCS technicians close inside the IIF reporting window.

Why Blaby PCNs choose BCS for formulary adherence work.

Solo recruitment for formulary adherence work in Blaby 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 Blaby PCN starting your first formulary adherence work programme, or a federation coordinating formulary adherence work across multiple East Midlands networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — Formulary Adherence in Blaby.

Do you work to the local ICB formulary?+

Yes — every audit uses the live local formulary, not a generic national one.

Does BCS already deliver formulary adherence work in Blaby?+

BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across East Midlands from our Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub with paired cover from Chiswick (West London), and is actively delivering or available to mobilise formulary adherence work in Blaby. 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 formulary adherence work in Blaby?+

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