Frequently asked questions — Medicines Optimisation in Herne Bay.
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 Herne Bay?+
BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across South East from our Chiswick (West London) hub, and is actively delivering or available to mobilise medicines optimisation in Herne Bay. Get in touch and we'll confirm current capacity for your network specifically.
How quickly can BCS mobilise medicines optimisation in Herne Bay?+
In most cases BCS mobilises medicines optimisation for a Herne Bay PCN within 4 to 6 weeks of contract sign-off, with remote prescribing back-up available from the Chiswick (West London) hub sooner if needed.
