Medicines Reconciliation in City of London.
Dual-hub delivery
The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.
Every discharge medicines reconciliation placement in City of London 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 City of London 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

Why City of London PCNs choose BCS for discharge medicines reconciliation.
Solo recruitment for discharge medicines reconciliation in City of London 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 City of London 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.
