Description
The North West London CCG Borough of Brent, requires the provision of a Falls Prevention Service. The aim of the service is to prevent falls, rehabilitate and provide intervention for patients who have fallen or are at risk of falling within a community setting. The service should provide a patient-centred service for the assessment and rehabilitation of adults over the age of 65 with a Brent GP, who presents for medical attention due to a fall or report recurrent falls in the past year (12 months) or demonstrates abnormalities of gait and/or balance (at risk of falls).
The service must be consultant-led and consist of a clinical lead, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, rehabilitation assistant, technical instructor and administrator. The multi-disciplinary team offers a holistic service wrapped around patients' needs and their family/carer.
The care pathway shall include the components above and onward referral to foot care, education programmes to include but not limited to physiotherapy, podiatry; occupational Therapy; optician; pharmacist; diagnostics (e.g., DEXA scans through the Falls Liaison Service); and Voluntary Agencies.
The key services required include: initial multifactorial assessment of all referrals to place patients on an appropriate care pathway (dependent on the care needs of the individual); rapid access to service for urgent referrals; and a single point of access for all referrals.
The contract value is approximately £339,000 per annum. The purpose of this PIN is to be transparent about the CCG's intentions. Going forward, the above services will be incorporated into the larger Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust (CLCH) core agreement and expressions of interest are therefore not sought. NWL CCG is committed to assess the needs of the service users and consider how (if relevant) it needs to secure the needs of the people who use the services, and improve the quality and efficiency in the provision of the services including through the services being provided in an integrated way.
During 2022, it is anticipated that NWL CCG will be succeeded by an Integrated Care Board (ICB). Any future contract and/or procurement opportunity may therefore be in the name of the ICB.
