Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

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

Oldbury · local context

Oldbury PCNs sit within the local West Midlands ICB (Birmingham and Solihull, Black Country, Coventry and Warwickshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, Shropshire/Telford and Wrekin, or Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent).

Oldbury PCNs combine larger urban practices with smaller market-town branches — BCS combines on-site pharmacist days with HSCN-secured remote prescribing for the smaller sites.

Why Oldbury PCNs choose BCS for repeat prescribing optimisation.

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

Frequently asked questions — Repeat Prescribing Optimisation in Oldbury.

How much GP time does this save?+

Does BCS already deliver repeat prescribing optimisation in Oldbury?+

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.
