Shared Decision Making in Frome Somerset.
Dual-hub delivery
The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.
Every shared decision-making work placement in Frome Somerset 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 shared decision-making work for a Frome Somerset 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 Frome Somerset PCNs choose BCS for shared decision-making work.
Solo recruitment for shared decision-making work in Frome Somerset 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 Frome Somerset PCN starting your first shared decision-making work programme, or a federation coordinating shared decision-making work across multiple South West networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.
Frequently asked questions — Shared Decision Making in Frome Somerset.
Is SDM evidenced for DES?+
Yes — every BCS SMR carries a documented SDM note that satisfies DES evidence requirements.
Does BCS already deliver shared decision-making work in Frome Somerset?+
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 shared decision-making work in Frome Somerset. 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 shared decision-making work in Frome Somerset?+
In most cases BCS mobilises shared decision-making work for a Frome Somerset PCN within 4 to 6 weeks of contract sign-off, with remote prescribing back-up available from the hub sooner if needed.
