Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every frailty and over-75s medicines optimisation placement in Streatham 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 frailty and over-75s medicines optimisation for a Streatham 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 Streatham PCNs choose BCS for frailty and over-75s medicines optimisation.

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

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

How is the over-75 cohort selected?+

Does BCS already deliver frailty and over-75s medicines optimisation in Streatham?+

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.
