Description

The Community Ultrasound (non-obstetric) Service is expected to compliment the Royal College of Radiologists 'Making the best use of clinical Radiology Services (2017 eighth edition)' Referral guidelines for GPs. The care pathway being commissioned includes pre-appointment communication with Service Users, diagnostic investigation and report to referrer, which covers not only the description of the investigation and findings but also any clinical recommendations for further investigation and advice on management.
This service is open to Mid Essex to join at any point upon commencement of this contract and the aggregate contract reflected in this Contract Notice is inclusive of potential indicative Mid Essex activity.
The AQP model is an accreditation process underpinned by 'call-off' of a Provider's services determined according to patients' choice. Referrals into these services may come from secondary care, accident and emergency, walk in centres or GP practices. Services must be provided by trained practitioners with appropriate equipment.

Future AQP procurements for these Services will be conducted on a regular basis and these will be advertised in an identical manner to this Procurement.
Community Ultrasound (Basildon & Brentwood CCG, Castle Point & Rochford CCG, Southend CCG and Thurrock CCG) = £4,896,735 (inclusive of Mid Essex CCG indicative activity data and potential funding)
