Frequently asked questions — Medicines Optimisation in Craven Arms.
How is this different from the ARRS pharmacist service?+
ARRS gives you a pharmacist; medicines optimisation gives you a programme. Most PCNs combine both — ARRS funds the role; medicines optimisation directs what the role does and how it's measured.
Will this align with our ICB priorities?+
Yes — at mobilisation we map the programme onto your ICB Medicines Optimisation team's annual priorities so the work counts in both directions.
Is this a long contract?+
Most PCNs start on a 12-month programme that auto-renews. Break clauses are negotiable; we'd rather earn renewal than lock you in.
Does BCS already deliver medicines optimisation in Craven Arms?+
BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across West Midlands from our Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub, and is actively delivering or available to mobilise medicines optimisation in Craven Arms. Get in touch and we'll confirm current capacity for your network specifically.
How quickly can BCS mobilise medicines optimisation in Craven Arms?+
In most cases BCS mobilises medicines optimisation for a Craven Arms PCN within 4 to 6 weeks of contract sign-off, with remote prescribing back-up available from the Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub sooner if needed.
