Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every medicines optimisation governance placement in Featherstone 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 medicines optimisation governance for a Featherstone 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

Featherstone · local context

Featherstone PCNs sit within the local Yorkshire ICB (West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, or Humber and North Yorkshire).

Why Featherstone PCNs choose BCS for medicines optimisation governance.

Solo recruitment for medicines optimisation governance in Featherstone 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 Featherstone PCN starting your first medicines optimisation governance programme, or a federation coordinating medicines optimisation governance across multiple Yorkshire & Humber networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — MO Governance & Supervision in Featherstone.

Who is clinically accountable?+

Does BCS already deliver medicines optimisation governance in Featherstone?+

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.
