Integrated Neighbourhood Teams in Longsight.
Dual-hub delivery
The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.
Every integrated neighbourhood team support placement in Longsight 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 Longsight 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
Longsight · local context
Longsight PCNs sit within the local North West ICB (Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Merseyside, or Lancashire and South Cumbria).
Longsight PCNs serve a diverse North West population with significant CVD and respiratory burden — pharmacist programmes lean on high-risk drug monitoring and LTC reviews.

Why Longsight PCNs choose BCS for integrated neighbourhood team support.
Solo recruitment for integrated neighbourhood team support in Longsight 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 Longsight 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 Longsight.
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 Longsight?+
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 Longsight. 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 Longsight?+
In most cases BCS mobilises integrated neighbourhood team support for a Longsight PCN within 4 to 6 weeks of contract sign-off, with remote prescribing back-up available from the hub sooner if needed.
