Frequently asked questions — London.
Is the BCS ARRS pharmacist service in London fully ARRS-reimbursable?+
Yes. Every ARRS pharmacist and ARRS pharmacy technician role we deploy in London 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 London 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 London — 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 London 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. London PCNs operate across five ICB footprints with the country's most diverse patient cohorts and the highest care home density per square mile — pharmacist programmes here have to flex from inner-city deprivation in Tower Hamlets to commuter-belt frailty in Bromley.
