Frequently asked questions — Hackney.

Is the BCS ARRS pharmacist service in Hackney fully ARRS-reimbursable?+

Yes. Every ARRS pharmacist and ARRS pharmacy technician role we deploy in Hackney is designed against Annex B of the Network Contract DES 2026/27, with the supervision evidence required for ARRS audit.

Who employs the ARRS pharmacist working in our Hackney PCN?+

BCS employs the pharmacist directly and takes on HR, training, leave cover, supervision, indemnity and CPD. The PCN claims ARRS reimbursement for the role and gets clinical capacity and outcomes without taking on the employment burden.

We have unspent ARRS allocation in Hackney — can BCS mobilise before year-end?+

Yes — ARRS underspend mobilisation is one of the things BCS is fastest at. We can have a costed plan in your inbox within 48 hours and a pharmacist mobilised inside 6 weeks.

How is the Hackney ARRS pharmacist role supervised?+

Weekly, by a named senior pharmacist at the BCS hub. Supervision is documented and audit-ready — the evidence trail ARRS audit, the ICB and CQC inspection all expect. Hackney PCNs (City and Hackney) cover one of the most diverse and deprived populations in England, with a long-standing focus on cardiovascular prevention and severe mental illness physical health.
