Description

NHS England & NHS Improvement aims to commission a national seasonal surge pressures support offer that will be made available across England (working with the 7 Regional areas) to local Trusts/ systems to help with surge capacity to support Hospital Discharge / Pathway 0 and community out of hospital wrap around care.
Historically NHSEI has worked with national providers on a reactive basis to commission crisis surge response with short lead in times. This doesn't provide stability to the wider Sector nor does it provide best value for money for the NHS.
This is an exciting opportunity to support the creation of a sustainable support offer for local systems to call for surge capacity support. This offer provides a robust commissioned offer from the Sector on a longer term contract allowing time for development and improvement of services, conduct a long term evaluation of impact and ensure better alignment to NHS priorities.
The programme aims to fully demonstrate the need for surge capacity support to enhance resilience within health and care systems to reduce system pressures.
