Description

To ensure continuity of the service, a short term contract from 1st April 2022 to 31st January 2023 (10 months) has been awarded to Vocare Ltd whilst undergoing a procurement exercise for the service. Market Engagement has been undertaken in advance.

The procurement is currently underway, FTS Notice reference: 2022/S 000-013667.

The UTC is located at St Mary's Hospital.

The core set of standards for urgent treatment centres (UTC)
are:

a. To be able to access urgent treatment centres that are GP-
led, staffed by GPs, nurses and other clinicians, with access
to simple diagnostics, e.g. urinalysis, ECG and in some
cases X-ray.

b. Have a consistent route to access urgent appointments offered within 4hrs and booked through NHS 111, ambulance
services and general practice. A walk-in access option will be
available.

c. Increasingly be able to access routine and same-day
appointments, and out-of-hours general practice, for both
urgent and routine appointments, at the same facility, where
geographically appropriate.

d. Know that the urgent treatment centre is part of locally
integrated urgent and emergency care services working in
conjunction with the ambulance service, NHS111, local GPs,
hospital A&E services and other local providers.
The impact will be reduced attendance at, and conveyance
to, A&E as a result of this standardisation and simplified
access, as well as improved patient convenience.
