ARRS Workforce Strategy in Southwark.
Dual-hub delivery
The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.
Every ARRS workforce strategy placement in Southwark 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 ARRS workforce strategy for a Southwark 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
Southwark · local context
Southwark PCNs sit within NHS South East London ICB.
Southwark PCNs sit between King's and Guy's & St Thomas', so timely discharge medicines reconciliation is the single highest-leverage pharmacist activity for the network.
For ARRS workforce strategy specifically, the Southwark 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 Southwark Clinical Director never has to chase two systems for one outcome.

Why Southwark PCNs choose BCS for ARRS workforce strategy.
Solo recruitment for ARRS workforce strategy in Southwark 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 Southwark PCN starting your first ARRS workforce strategy programme, or a federation coordinating ARRS workforce strategy across multiple London networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.
