SMR Programme Delivery in Par.
Dual-hub delivery
The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.
Every SMR programme delivery placement in Par 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 Par 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
Par · local context
Par PCNs sit within the local South West ICB (Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Somerset, Gloucestershire, or Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire).
Par PCNs serve an older South West population with significant polypharmacy in over-75s — SMRs and care home in-reach dominate the BCS schedule.

Why Par PCNs choose BCS for SMR programme delivery.
Solo recruitment for SMR programme delivery in Par 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 Par PCN starting your first SMR programme delivery programme, or a federation coordinating SMR programme delivery across multiple South West networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.
Frequently asked questions — SMR Programme Delivery in Par.
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 Par?+
BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across South West 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 Par. 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 Par?+
In most cases BCS mobilises SMR programme delivery for a Par PCN within 4 to 6 weeks of contract sign-off, with remote prescribing back-up available from the hub sooner if needed.
