Integrated Neighbourhood Teams in Islington.
Dual-hub delivery
The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.
Every integrated neighbourhood team support placement in Islington 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 Islington 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
Islington · local context
Islington PCNs sit within NHS North Central London ICB.
Islington PCNs combine dense inner-city polypharmacy with significant young-adult mental health prescribing — a workload mix that rewards a multidisciplinary BCS pharmacist team rather than a single hire.
For integrated neighbourhood team support specifically, the Islington pathway often integrates with Whittington Health and UCLH. BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process so a Islington Clinical Director never has to chase two systems for one outcome.

Why Islington PCNs choose BCS for integrated neighbourhood team support.
Solo recruitment for integrated neighbourhood team support in Islington 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 Islington PCN starting your first integrated neighbourhood team support programme, or a federation coordinating integrated neighbourhood team support across multiple London networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.
Frequently asked questions — Integrated Neighbourhood Teams in Islington.
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 Islington?+
BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across London 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 Islington. 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 Islington?+
In most cases BCS mobilises integrated neighbourhood team support for a Islington PCN within 4 to 6 weeks of contract sign-off, with remote prescribing back-up available from the hub sooner if needed.
