Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every discharge medicines reconciliation placement in Bexley 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 discharge medicines reconciliation for a Bexley 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

Bexley · local context

Bexley PCNs sit within NHS South East London ICB.

Bexley PCNs have one of outer south-east London's older population profiles, with care home in-reach and polypharmacy reviews dominating the BCS programme.

For discharge medicines reconciliation specifically, the Bexley pathway often integrates with Lewisham and Greenwich, and Dartford and Gravesham. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process so a Bexley Clinical Director never has to chase two systems for one outcome.

Why Bexley PCNs choose BCS for discharge medicines reconciliation.

Solo recruitment for discharge medicines reconciliation in Bexley 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 Bexley PCN starting your first discharge medicines reconciliation programme, or a federation coordinating discharge medicines reconciliation across multiple London networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — Medicines Reconciliation in Bexley.

What proportion of discharges have a medicines discrepancy?+

Across our book, 40-60% of discharge letters contain at least one medicines discrepancy that needs GP action.

Does BCS already deliver discharge medicines reconciliation in Bexley?+

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 discharge medicines reconciliation in Bexley. 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.

In most cases BCS mobilises discharge medicines reconciliation for a Bexley PCN within 4 to 6 weeks of contract sign-off, with remote prescribing back-up available from the hub sooner if needed.
