Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

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

Newent · local context

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

Newent PCNs serve an older South West population with significant polypharmacy in over-75s — SMRs and care home in-reach dominate the BCS schedule.

Why Newent PCNs choose BCS for medicines optimisation governance.

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

Frequently asked questions — MO Governance & Supervision in Newent.

Who is clinically accountable?+

Our Lead Pharmacist holds clinical accountability per contract, with documented escalation routes.

Does BCS already deliver medicines optimisation governance in Newent?+

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 medicines optimisation governance in Newent. 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.
