Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every frailty and over-75s medicines optimisation placement in Melton Mowbray 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 frailty and over-75s medicines optimisation for a Melton Mowbray 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

Melton Mowbray · local context

Melton Mowbray PCNs sit within NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland ICB.

Melton Mowbray PCNs cover a rural patch with significant farming-related musculoskeletal and care home demand — pharmacist face-to-face time is sequenced around the smaller branch sites.

For frailty and over-75s medicines optimisation specifically, the Melton Mowbray pathway often integrates with University Hospitals of Leicester. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process so a Melton Mowbray Clinical Director never has to chase two systems for one outcome.

Why Melton Mowbray PCNs choose BCS for frailty and over-75s medicines optimisation.

Solo recruitment for frailty and over-75s medicines optimisation in Melton Mowbray 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 Melton Mowbray PCN starting your first frailty and over-75s medicines optimisation programme, or a federation coordinating frailty and over-75s medicines optimisation across multiple East Midlands networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — Frailty & Over-75s in Melton Mowbray.
