As the NHS faces growing challenges, primary care networks (PCNs) can transform patient care using the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS).
Are you fully utilising this vital resource? Here’s why maximising your ARRS budget matters:
What is the ARRS Budget?
The ARRS funds additional healthcare professionals in PCNs, from pharmacists to mental health practitioners, supporting GPs and improving patient access. It’s a cost-effective way to enhance services without straining practice finances. However, unused budgets don’t roll over, so making the most of the funding is crucial.
Why Maximise Your ARRS Budget?
- Relieve GP Pressure: Free up GPs to focus on complex cases.
- Broaden Services: Offer enhanced patient care with diverse roles.
- Boost Retention: Create a collaborative environment for staff.
- Meet Demand: Adapt to growing patient needs.
- Financial Efficiency: Achieve more within budget constraints.
How to Maximise the ARRS Budget
- Plan Strategically: Identify workforce gaps and align roles with goals.
- Collaborate: Work with your PCN to prioritise effectively.
- Recruit Smart: Partner with experts like Vela Medical Group.
- Support New Hires: Integrate and develop new team members.
- Review Regularly: Monitor impact and refine strategies.
