Description

NHS Halton CCG has a requirement for a Community COPD Service. Operating across Halton, the Community COPD Service will provide home (including residential & nursing homes) and community based care. The service must be able to deliver:
• Patient centred care which allows patients with COPD to be more independent, taking more responsibility for their own care and quality of life.
• Seamless care and support to patients and their carers through close working arrangements with social care and 3rd sector providers
• A 'shift of care' into the community, working primarily with general practice as part of a multi-disciplinary team designed around, and for, the patient and carer
• Referrals of appropriate patients to the Community Pulmonary Rehabilitation Service

The Community COPD Service will also be required to make a significant contribution to NHS Halton CCG's plans to reduce non-elective admissions, to effectively manage prescribing costs and to improve the management of patients with COPD in primary care.

The contract will be awarded for an initial 5-year period with the potential to extend for a further 1 x 2-year period.
