Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

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

Truro · local context

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

Truro PCNs cover a large rural-tilted catchment, so face-to-face pharmacist time is sequenced around branch sites and care homes — HSCN-secured remote prescribing closes the gap.

Why Truro PCNs choose BCS for formulary adherence work.

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

Frequently asked questions — Formulary Adherence in Truro.

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 Truro?+

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 formulary adherence work in Truro. 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 Truro?+

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