What We Know So Far
Currently, under the ARRS Scheme, Primary Care Networks (PCNs) can claim reimbursement for the salaries (and some on costs) of 17 new roles within the multidisciplinary team. The government has announced changes to the scheme, allowing Newly Qualified GPs to be recruited into the NHS through this program in 2024-2025.
This is an emergency measure for 2024-2025 to ensure patients have access to GPs and that GPs can secure roles.
Dr Amanda Doyle, National Director for Primary Care and Community Services, said:
“Adding General Practitioners to the scheme is something that the profession has been calling for in recent months to make it easier for practices to hire more staff – so I welcome this measure which is an important first step to increasing GP employment in the long-term.
