Nursing Supervision
Our Clinical Supervision sessions are no longer available for new bookings.
ARRS Peer Support
The Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS) allows Primary Care Networks to recruit new roles to expand their care team, receiving 100% reimbursement of salary and on-cost. The aim of the scheme is to build and utilise the additional roles to solve the workforce shortage in general practice.
For further information, please email: jackiekerr1@nhs.net
We are working with North East & Yorkshire Leadership Academy to provide additional support for ARRS roles through interactive Peer Support sessions.
We are offering short, themed, online sessions to help build a community of support for people in ARRS roles across North East and North Cumbria. They are facilitator led, interactive spaces, for people to come together, share their experiences and be heard. The aim of the sessions is to reduce any feelings of professional isolation and to create greater levels of connection, collaboration and support
Attendees will participate in four peer support sessions, three of which will be multi-disciplinary, and will be held monthly. The fourth session will bring professional groups together, to help build a greater community of shared professional support.
Wellbeing will be a strand running throughout all the sessions and the key focus of the sessions is:
Starting well and keeping going
Finding my place
Understanding how change impacts on me

If you would like further information or are interested in attending this course, please email The Primary Care Training Hub: england.traininghub.nenc@nhs.net
The Primary Care Training Hub are working with local stakeholders across North East and North Cumbria to commission training to support those who provide, or will be providing, supervision for staff recruited through Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme. Staff recruited through Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS) need to be given access to appropriate clinical supervision.
This course is focused on supporting Primary Care Networks (PCN) by offering training and resources to develop practitioners and providing patient and practitioner safety through supervision. This course is delivered over 3x days and covers good supervision, coaching and mentoring skills and CPD and supervision.
ARRS Minimum Standards for Supervision
The Primary Care Training Hub Business Team have worked with Gateshead Place, clinicians within the ARRS roles, and other key stakeholders to establish a minimum standard of Clinical Supervision, with the aim of this being rolled out across Gateshead and then wider. These guidelines therefore outline how much supervision each ARRS role should receive, and which roles would be best suited to supervise other roles. These are guidelines only, and individuals should only supervise other roles if they feel comfortable and competent to do so.
