Why Ashton in Makerfield PCNs choose BCS for CVD prevention delivery.

Solo recruitment for CVD prevention delivery in Ashton in Makerfield 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 Ashton in Makerfield PCN starting your first CVD prevention delivery programme, or a federation coordinating CVD prevention delivery across multiple North West networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — CVD Prevention in Ashton in Makerfield.

Is CVD prevention IIF-paying?+

Yes — multiple CVD indicators sit in IIF/QOF; pharmacist clinics directly deliver against them.

Does BCS already deliver CVD prevention delivery in Ashton in Makerfield?+

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 CVD prevention delivery in Ashton in Makerfield. 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.
