Long-Term Conditions in Islington.
Dual-hub delivery
The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.
Every LTC medicines optimisation placement in Islington 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 LTC medicines optimisation for a Islington 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
Islington · local context
Islington PCNs sit within NHS North Central London ICB.
Islington PCNs combine dense inner-city polypharmacy with significant young-adult mental health prescribing — a workload mix that rewards a multidisciplinary BCS pharmacist team rather than a single hire.
For LTC medicines optimisation specifically, the Islington pathway often integrates with Whittington Health and UCLH. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process so a Islington Clinical Director never has to chase two systems for one outcome.

Why Islington PCNs choose BCS for LTC medicines optimisation.
Solo recruitment for LTC medicines optimisation in Islington 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 Islington PCN starting your first LTC medicines optimisation programme, or a federation coordinating LTC medicines optimisation across multiple London networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.
Frequently asked questions — Long-Term Conditions in Islington.
Do you support QOF achievement?+
Yes — LTC clinics are mapped to current QOF indicators and IIF metrics.
Does BCS already deliver LTC medicines optimisation in Islington?+
BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across London from our Chiswick (West London) hub with paired cover from Halifax (West Yorkshire), and is actively delivering or available to mobilise LTC medicines optimisation in Islington. 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 LTC medicines optimisation in Islington?+
In most cases BCS mobilises LTC medicines optimisation for a Islington PCN within 4 to 6 weeks of contract sign-off, with remote prescribing back-up available from the hub sooner if needed.
