Community Ophthalmology Services Any Qualified Provider (AQP).

Descriptions

The Commissioner is looking for suitably qualified and experienced provider(s) to continue with the provision and development of a broad range of high quality ophthalmic services which are currently delivered in the community settings within the boundaries of the Enfield District for access to Enfield patients. The service will be pivotal to the continued achievement of reduced waiting times by offering more community based services to patients, therefore reducing demand for secondary care and releasing that capacity for those patients with more complex and urgent needs. The service will benefit patients by delivering a more efficient and effective care pathway. The provision of alternative treatment settings will also support the reduction in demand for secondary care. The community Ophthalmology service will be provided under the ‘Any Qualified Provider’ model. All providers will be required to provide the core adult service and may also choose to offer additional optional services.
