As the NHS faces increasing pressures, Primary Care Networks (PCNs) have a unique opportunity to enhance patient care through the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS). But are you fully utilising this vital funding?
What is the ARRS Budget?
The ARRS budget funds additional primary care professionals, from Clinical Pharmacists and Mental Health Practitioners to First Contact Physiotherapists and Paramedics. These roles support GPs, improve patient access, and expand healthcare services—without additional financial strain on practices. However, unused ARRS funding does not roll over, making it essential to maximise your budget before the financial year ends.
Why Maximise Your ARRS Budget?
✔ Reduce GP Workload – Free up GPs to focus on complex cases.
✔ Expand Patient Services – Introduce multidisciplinary care with specialist roles.
✔ Improve Staff Retention – Foster a collaborative and supportive work environment.
✔ Meet Growing Demand – Strengthen workforce capacity for better patient outcomes.
✔ Optimise Funding – Make the most of allocated NHS resources efficiently.
