Shared Decision Making in Lambeth.
Dual-hub delivery
The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.
Every shared decision-making work placement in Lambeth 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 Lambeth 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
Lambeth · local context
Lambeth PCNs sit within NHS South East London ICB.
Lambeth PCNs combine a young transient population with significant severe mental illness caseload — pharmacist-led physical health checks and high-risk drug monitoring move the IIF needle here.
For shared decision-making work specifically, the Lambeth pathway often integrates with King's College Hospital and Guy's and St Thomas'. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process so a Lambeth Clinical Director never has to chase two systems for one outcome.

Why Lambeth PCNs choose BCS for shared decision-making work.
Solo recruitment for shared decision-making work in Lambeth 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 Lambeth PCN starting your first shared decision-making work programme, or a federation coordinating shared decision-making work across multiple London networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.
Frequently asked questions — Shared Decision Making in Lambeth.
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 Lambeth?+
BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across London 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 Lambeth. 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 Lambeth?+
In most cases BCS mobilises shared decision-making work for a Lambeth PCN within 4 to 6 weeks of contract sign-off, with remote prescribing back-up available from the hub sooner if needed.
