Built for Lechlade PCNs.
BCS is a managed ARRS pharmacist provider for Primary Care Networks in Lechlade — handling ARRS-compliant recruitment, induction, weekly clinical supervision and ongoing CPD against Annex B of the Network Contract DES. Your PCN converts every pound of ARRS funding into measurable IIF and QOF outcomes. Lechlade PCNs cover a large rural-tilted catchment, so face-to-face pharmacist time is sequenced around branch sites and care homes — HSCN-secured remote prescribing closes the gap.

Frequently asked questions — Lechlade.
Is the BCS ARRS pharmacist service in Lechlade fully ARRS-reimbursable?+
Yes. Every ARRS pharmacist and ARRS pharmacy technician role we deploy in Lechlade 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 Lechlade 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 Lechlade — 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 Lechlade 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. Lechlade PCNs cover a large rural-tilted catchment, so face-to-face pharmacist time is sequenced around branch sites and care homes — HSCN-secured remote prescribing closes the gap.
