PRJ804 — Provision of integrated Community Urgent Care Services for the areas of Barking and Dagenha

Descriptions

Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge Clinical Commissioning Groups (BHR CCGs) wish to commission an integrated community urgent care service, comprising four Urgent Treatment Centre services(UTCs) and an Out of Hours Home Visiting service (OOHHV). All services will be commissioned under a single contract. The BHR vision is for GP led, multi-disciplinary services that effectively prevents avoidable A&E attendances and ensures that patients are treated in the most appropriate setting, according to their clinical and well-being needs. The UTCs will be the centre of an integrated system that provides a consistent response during the specified periods of operation, where the patient need is classified as urgent rather than emergency. The CCGs are seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced healthcare providers who can provide demonstrable evidence of a track record in delivering high quality and effective urgent care services.
