We have already placed 5 PAs over the last few months. 
Here's what some of our clients have said...

Very easy to set up via LocumPA. Great communication from the team. Would recommend!

LocumPA even helped guide us through the Preceptorship Grant application.

I have worked for Locum PA for 9 months. They are easy to get a hold of and respond efficiently!

What is the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS)?

Under the Network Contract DES which went live on 1 July 2019, funding is made available to PCNs through a new Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme to recruit up to an additional 20,000 full time equivalent (FTE) posts across specific roles by 2024. 

Compliance Checks

Each PCN could have an additional Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Physician Associates (PA) through the ARRS, with the funding covering the salary and on costs.

Compliance Checks

A £5,000 Preceptorship Grant is also available to GPs to employ newly qualified physician associates as part of this programme.

Compliance Checks

Costs will never exceed the ARRS reimbursable total that the PCN receives for the role and there are no hidden charges or fees throughout the contract.
