Description
NHS Barnet, NHS Camden, NHS Enfield, NHS Haringey and NHS Islington CCGs are keen to test the potential provider market for the Integrated 111 and OOH Service. The services currently expected to fall within the urgent care pathway will include, but are not limited to, the following core services: NHS 111 and GP Out-of-Hours services.
The aims of the proposed service are to provide a clinically safe and telephone triage service. The NHS 111 component of the service operates within national standards across England through a local commissioned delivery model that is most appropriate for any given area. The NHS 111 commissioning standards will apply to the service. Further information on the NHS 111 service development can be sourced through registration at: https://www.networks.nhs.uk/nhs-networks/nhs-111-service-development
The OOH GP Service is accessible to the local populations across Enfield CCG, Barnet CCG, Haringey CCG, Camden CCG and Islington CCG.
The service is to provide access to unplanned urgent care, working in partnership with the wider urgent care system across primary, community, secondary health and social care. The principal aims of the proposed Integrated NHS 111 and OOH service are to:
• Improve the public experience accessing urgent healthcare
• Get people to the right service first time, including self-care where appropriate
• Provide the CCGs with management information regarding usage of services
• A more streamlined patient pathway
• A consistent model of care across NCL
Potential providers with relevant capability to deliver this service are requested to express an interest in bidding for this service should the CCGs decide to carry out a competitive tender exercise and publish a Contract Notice for this requirement. The CCGs actively encourage smaller and new providers to attend the event. We welcome interest from collaborations of providers.
