Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every shared decision-making work placement in Cheadle (Staffs) 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 shared decision-making work for a Cheadle (Staffs) 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 Cheadle (Staffs) PCNs choose BCS for shared decision-making work.

Solo recruitment for shared decision-making work in Cheadle (Staffs) 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 Cheadle (Staffs) PCN starting your first shared decision-making work programme, or a federation coordinating shared decision-making work across multiple West Midlands networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — Shared Decision Making in Cheadle (Staffs).

What makes the dual-hub model different?+
