Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every medicines optimisation ROI placement in Thame 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 medicines optimisation ROI for a Thame 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

Thame · local context

Thame PCNs sit within the local South East ICB (Sussex, Surrey Heartlands, Kent and Medway, Hampshire and Isle of Wight, Frimley, or Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West).

Thame PCNs combine commuter-belt practices with pockets of coastal or rural deprivation — pharmacist sequencing varies materially practice to practice.

Why Thame PCNs choose BCS for medicines optimisation ROI.

Solo recruitment for medicines optimisation ROI in Thame 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 Thame PCN starting your first medicines optimisation ROI programme, or a federation coordinating medicines optimisation ROI across multiple South East networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — MO ROI & Impact in Thame.

How do you evidence ROI?+

Every report ties clinical activity to £-saved or hours-released using ICB cost data and local list size.

Does BCS already deliver medicines optimisation ROI in Thame?+

BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across South East from our Chiswick (West London) hub with paired cover from Halifax (West Yorkshire), and is actively delivering or available to mobilise medicines optimisation ROI in Thame. 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.
