Anticipatory Care in Wigan.
Dual-hub delivery
The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.
Every anticipatory care delivery placement in Wigan 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 anticipatory care delivery for a Wigan 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
Wigan · local context
Wigan PCNs sit within NHS Greater Manchester ICB (Wigan place).
Wigan PCNs benefit from the BCS Leigh partnership track record — 13 pharmacists, three years, continuous coverage — now offered across the wider Wigan place footprint.
For anticipatory care delivery specifically, the Wigan pathway often integrates with Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process so a Wigan Clinical Director never has to chase two systems for one outcome.

Why Wigan PCNs choose BCS for anticipatory care delivery.
Solo recruitment for anticipatory care delivery in Wigan 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 Wigan PCN starting your first anticipatory care delivery programme, or a federation coordinating anticipatory care delivery across multiple North West networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.
Frequently asked questions — Anticipatory Care in Wigan.
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 Wigan?+
BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across North West from our Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub with paired cover from Chiswick (West London), and is actively delivering or available to mobilise anticipatory care delivery in Wigan. 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 anticipatory care delivery in Wigan?+
In most cases BCS mobilises anticipatory care delivery for a Wigan PCN within 4 to 6 weeks of contract sign-off, with remote prescribing back-up available from the hub sooner if needed.
