Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme
The Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme was introduced in England in 2019 as a key part of the government’s manifesto commitment to improve access to general practice. Through the scheme, primary care networks (PCNs) can claim reimbursement for the salaries of new roles within the multidisciplinary team, selected to meet the needs of the local population. In expanding general practice capacity, the scheme improves access for patients, supports the delivery of new services and widens the range of offers available in primary care. As workforce development managers, we are here to support PCNs to ensure they are maximising their annual budgets. For further details on ARRS roles, please click HERE

•Very important to log into the system regularly to check and update records (we recommend once per month before extraction deadline, and if anything changes)
•Check the monthly NWRS extraction reminder letter.
•Check NWRS staff table records –only received if marked “Submitted” (not “In progress”)
•Use the dashboard to check we have your staff records! What’s in the dashboard are the staff records we receive when data is extracted for publication. You can also download dashboard data (updated every week).
•The dashboard does not show PCN Contracted Services. Use the PCN publication tables (or go into the system for up-to-date information) to check all known PCN staff are recorded as such –not Contracted Services.
•All staff undertaking funded PCN roles (regardless of how many practices they work across) should be recorded against the PCN. This includes the Clinical Director and any staff funded through the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS).More guidance here: NWRS Support Page
