That is what guarantees continuity of ARRS workforce strategy through sickness, leave and turnover — regardless of which region the PCN sits in.

- Chiswick hub leads delivery for London and the South
- Cross-cover within the same week — no service gap
- ARRS-compliant, GPhC-registered, IP-qualified workforce
