Dual-hub delivery

Halifax + Chiswick — the only UK dual-hub model.

BCS is the only UK clinical pharmacy provider running both a Northern (Halifax, West Yorkshire) and Southern (Chiswick, West London) hub with shared SOPs, shared supervision and same-week cross-cover. That is what guarantees continuity of SMR programme delivery through sickness, leave and turnover — regardless of which region the PCN sits in.

  • Halifax hub leads delivery for the North and Midlands
  • Chiswick hub leads delivery for London and the South
  • Cross-cover within the same week — no service gap
  • ARRS-compliant, GPhC-registered, IP-qualified workforce
  • One SLA, one report, one escalation point
