The Challenge

The Challenge ICBs Face With Primary Care Pharmacy Capacity

ICBs are responsible for medicines optimisation outcomes across populations of hundreds of thousands of patients. Fragmented pharmacy capacity across PCNs and practices makes consistent, governed delivery difficult to achieve and harder to evidence.

Recruitment pressures, variation in governance standards and inconsistent reporting across PCNs compound the challenge. Remote Clinical Providers offers ICBs a managed model that addresses these gaps — bringing structured pharmacy capacity, consistent workflows and system-level oversight to commissioned primary care.

What We Support

Remote Pharmacy Capacity at System Level

We work with ICBs and their commissioned networks to build pharmacy capacity that is consistent, governed and scalable across primary care.

Cross-PCN Pharmacy Workforce Planning

Supporting ICBs in designing and deploying scalable remote pharmacy capacity across multiple PCNs, aligned to ARRS funding and local workforce priorities.

Prescribing Governance & Analytics

Remote clinical pharmacy oversight of prescribing patterns, medicines safety and quality improvement activity across commissioned primary care.

Population Health Medicines Programmes

Structured remote pharmacy support for population-level medicines optimisation — LTC reviews, polypharmacy management and medicines safety at scale.

System-Level Clinical Governance

Consistent governance frameworks, escalation routes and audit trails across all pharmacy activity delivered through our managed model.

ARRS Workforce Strategy Support

Helping ICBs and PCNs convert ARRS pharmacy funding into structured clinical output — with governance, reporting and operational oversight included.

Health Inequalities Medicines Support

Targeted pharmacy capacity directed at populations with greatest need — supporting access to medicines optimisation for underserved communities.

How We Work

Structured for System-Level Delivery

We work with ICBs and their commissioned PCNs and practices to build pharmacy capacity that is consistent, governed and scalable across the system.

Our managed model means ICBs receive clinical output and reporting without taking on the operational and HR burden of managing a remote pharmacy workforce directly.

What we put in place before deployment

  • System-level discovery to understand workforce gaps across PCNs
  • Governance framework designed to meet ICB oversight requirements
  • Deployment across multiple PCNs and practices with consistent SOPs
  • Monthly reporting at both practice and network level
  • Flexible capacity scaling as system priorities evolve
  • Full clinical governance and escalation documentation

How We Work With ICBs

A structured process from system discovery to ongoing clinical delivery and reporting.

We understand your PCN and practice landscape, ARRS funding position and existing pharmacy workforce gaps.
