Introduction
The Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS) is designed to expand the primary care work force and enable more proactive, personalised and integrated health and social care.
Wessex Cancer Alliance (WCA) has produced this toolkit to help primary care understand the potential and opportunities to employ and develop existing roles who are part of the ARRS to:
1) Support the delivery of cancer priorities within the Network Contract DES
2) Support achievement of Quality Outcome Framework (QoF) Indicators
3) Provide opportunities to support personalised care planning throughout the cancer pathway
This toolkit will provide the links to education, tools, patient information and promotional material and asset mapping to support and assist ARRS postholders to develop their cancer knowledge and skills. In addition, WCA will support with development of new innovative cancer specific roles and/or cancer patient pathway improvement within Primary Care Networks.
