Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every integrated neighbourhood team support placement in Gillingham (Dorset) 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 integrated neighbourhood team support for a Gillingham (Dorset) 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

Why Gillingham (Dorset) PCNs choose BCS for integrated neighbourhood team support.

Solo recruitment for integrated neighbourhood team support in Gillingham (Dorset) 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 Gillingham (Dorset) PCN starting your first integrated neighbourhood team support programme, or a federation coordinating integrated neighbourhood team support across multiple South East networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — Integrated Neighbourhood Teams in Gillingham (Dorset).

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 Gillingham (Dorset)?+

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 integrated neighbourhood team support in Gillingham (Dorset). 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.
