Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every CVD prevention delivery placement in Blandford Forum 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 CVD prevention delivery for a Blandford Forum 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

Blandford Forum · local context

Blandford Forum PCNs sit within the local South East ICB (Sussex, Surrey Heartlands, Kent and Medway, Hampshire and Isle of Wight, Frimley, or Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West).

Blandford Forum PCNs typically serve an older, wealthier population with rising polypharmacy in over-75s — SMR throughput is the single most measurable BCS metric here.

Why Blandford Forum PCNs choose BCS for CVD prevention delivery.

Solo recruitment for CVD prevention delivery in Blandford Forum 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 Blandford Forum PCN starting your first CVD prevention delivery programme, or a federation coordinating CVD prevention delivery across multiple South East networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — CVD Prevention in Blandford Forum.

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 Blandford Forum?+

BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across South East from our Chiswick (West London) hub with paired cover from Halifax (West Yorkshire), and is actively delivering or available to mobilise CVD prevention delivery in Blandford Forum. 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 CVD prevention delivery in Blandford Forum?+

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