Meet our Roles

We are supporting the Primary Care Networks (PCN) to understand how these roles will be embedded across Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale ICS (Integrated Care System) and we now include Bury.
As the local Training Hub, our Primary Care Academy will support future workforce planning as one of its core functions.There are multiple roles and information about them is developing all the time.
ARRS roles
To support Primary care networks (PCNs), the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS) provides funding for 26,000 additional roles to create bespoke multi-disciplinary teams. Primary care networks assess the needs of their local population and, working with local community services, make support available to people where it is most needed.
