Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every SMR programme delivery placement in Ealing 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 SMR programme delivery for a Ealing 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

Ealing · local context

Ealing PCNs sit within NHS North West London ICB.

Ealing PCNs serve one of London's most ethnically diverse populations with high diabetes prevalence — SMRs, CVD optimisation and culturally competent medication counselling drive the IIF score.

For SMR programme delivery specifically, the Ealing pathway often integrates with London North West University Healthcare (Ealing and Northwick Park). BCS standardises the cross-organisation workflow into a single hub-supervised process so a Ealing Clinical Director never has to chase two systems for one outcome.

Why Ealing PCNs choose BCS for SMR programme delivery.

Solo recruitment for SMR programme delivery in Ealing 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 Ealing PCN starting your first SMR programme delivery programme, or a federation coordinating SMR programme delivery across multiple London networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — SMR Programme Delivery in Ealing.

How many SMRs can BCS deliver per WTE per year?+

A typical WTE clinical pharmacist completes 120+ DES-compliant SMRs per year alongside other duties.

Does BCS already deliver SMR programme delivery in Ealing?+

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 SMR programme delivery in Ealing. 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 SMR programme delivery in Ealing?+

In most cases BCS mobilises SMR programme delivery for a Ealing PCN within 4 to 6 weeks of contract sign-off, with remote prescribing back-up available from the hub sooner if needed.
