Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every repeat prescribing optimisation placement in Exeter 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 repeat prescribing optimisation for a Exeter 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

Exeter · local context

Exeter PCNs sit within NHS Devon ICB.

Exeter PCNs serve a mixed urban/rural Devon patch with an older population — polypharmacy in over-75s, care home in-reach and HSCN-secured remote prescribing combine in the BCS schedule.

For repeat prescribing optimisation specifically, the Exeter pathway often integrates with Royal Devon University Healthcare. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process so a Exeter Clinical Director never has to chase two systems for one outcome.

Why Exeter PCNs choose BCS for repeat prescribing optimisation.

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

Frequently asked questions — Repeat Prescribing Optimisation in Exeter.

How much GP time does this save?+

Typical practice releases 3-5 hours of GP repeat work per week in the first 90 days.

Does BCS already deliver repeat prescribing optimisation in Exeter?+

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 repeat prescribing optimisation in Exeter. 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 repeat prescribing optimisation in Exeter?+

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