Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every discharge medicines reconciliation placement in Cheetham Hill 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 discharge medicines reconciliation for a Cheetham Hill 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

Why Cheetham Hill PCNs choose BCS for discharge medicines reconciliation.

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