On and off island orthopaedic spinal surgery service.

Descriptions

Owing to capacity issues with the current provider, the States of Jersey are seeking a provider of an on and off island orthopaedic spinal surgery service. Currently, the majority of patients with low back pain are referred to the Back Assessment Clinic, which is a multi-disciplinary service run as part of the Pain Department. The Back Assessment service receive about 1 200 referrals per year.The majority of referrals received by the Orthopaedic team from BAC are therefore patients who have undergone extensive investigations/treatments/education and some minor procedures and for whom a surgical assessment is considered to be the most appropriate next step. Patients with other spine pathology are referred to the orthopaedic service directly.If you are a UK provider and wish to bid for these services then please go to: www.tenders.gov.je
