Complex Dementia Discharge to Assess (D2A) - Market Engagement - BSol ICB

Descriptions

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (CSU), on behalf of NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board (BSol ICB), is seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced providers for the provision of Complex Dementia Discharge to Assess (D2A) Beds for patients that present with dementia and behaviours that challenge. Where this cohort of patients no longer require an acute hospital bed and have been identified as unsafe to return home immediately (even with services), these Complex Dementia D2A beds will enable citizens to receive ongoing care and/or rehabilitation for up to six weeks. During this time, health and social care assessments can take place in an appropriate setting, at the right time for the patient. Additionally, these beds will also support step-up from the community where admission into an acute setting can be avoided. The commissioner has published this Prior Information Notice to support market engagement only at this stage.Further details of the service are provided in II.2.4 below
