Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every ARRS workforce strategy placement in Market Drayton 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 ARRS workforce strategy for a Market Drayton 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 Market Drayton PCNs choose BCS for ARRS workforce strategy.

Solo recruitment for ARRS workforce strategy in Market Drayton 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 Market Drayton PCN starting your first ARRS workforce strategy programme, or a federation coordinating ARRS workforce strategy across multiple West Midlands networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.
