Integrated Neighbourhood Teams in Blackpool.
Dual-hub delivery
The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.
Every integrated neighbourhood team support placement in Blackpool 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 integrated neighbourhood team support for a Blackpool 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
Blackpool · local context
Blackpool PCNs sit within NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB.
Blackpool PCNs cover one of England's most deprived patches with notable CVD, COPD and substance-misuse comorbidity — pharmacist-led SMRs and high-risk drug monitoring drive the BCS schedule.
For integrated neighbourhood team support specifically, the Blackpool pathway often integrates with Blackpool Teaching Hospitals. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process so a Blackpool Clinical Director never has to chase two systems for one outcome.

Why Blackpool PCNs choose BCS for integrated neighbourhood team support.
Solo recruitment for integrated neighbourhood team support in Blackpool 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 Blackpool PCN starting your first integrated neighbourhood team support programme, or a federation coordinating integrated neighbourhood team support across multiple North West networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.
Frequently asked questions — Integrated Neighbourhood Teams in Blackpool.
Is INT part of the PCN DES?+
INT is a national policy direction across ICBs; clinical pharmacy capacity is one of the most-cited enablers of effective INT working.
Does BCS already deliver integrated neighbourhood team support in Blackpool?+
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 integrated neighbourhood team support in Blackpool. 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 integrated neighbourhood team support in Blackpool?+
In most cases BCS mobilises integrated neighbourhood team support for a Blackpool PCN within 4 to 6 weeks of contract sign-off, with remote prescribing back-up available from the hub sooner if needed.
