Anticipatory Care in City of London.
Dual-hub delivery
The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.
Every anticipatory care delivery placement in City of London 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 anticipatory care delivery for a City of London 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 City of London PCNs choose BCS for anticipatory care delivery.
Solo recruitment for anticipatory care delivery in City of London 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 City of London PCN starting your first anticipatory care delivery programme, or a federation coordinating anticipatory care delivery across multiple London networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.
Frequently asked questions — Anticipatory Care in City of London.
Who leads the anticipatory care MDT?+
Typically the PCN Clinical Director or care coordinator; pharmacists own the medicines component of every plan.
Does BCS already deliver anticipatory care delivery in City of London?+
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 anticipatory care delivery in City of London. 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.

In most cases BCS mobilises anticipatory care delivery for a City of London PCN within 4 to 6 weeks of contract sign-off, with remote prescribing back-up available from the hub sooner if needed.
