Frequently asked questions — Leicester.
Is the BCS ARRS pharmacist service in Leicester fully ARRS-reimbursable?+
Yes. Every ARRS pharmacist and ARRS pharmacy technician role we deploy in Leicester 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 Leicester 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 Leicester — 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 Leicester 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. Leicester PCNs cover one of England's most ethnically diverse cities with diabetes prevalence well above the national average — pharmacist-led SMRs in older South Asian polypharmacy and CVD optimisation are the highest-leverage BCS work.
