Description

THIS IS NOT A PIPELINE OPPORTUNITY - THIS IS A FULL ONGOING PERMANENT OPPORTUNITY


NHS West Lancashire sees the presentation of cancer symptoms very late in the stage of developments and as such increasing access to diagnostics and the speed of access to diagnostics is very important.

The CCG supports the need to develop improved GP direct access to diagnostic tests as part of the drive to reduce waiting times, improve choice for patients and ensure diagnostic tests are undertaken at the right stage of a patient pathway and in the most clinically appropriate setting.

The one stop-service will provide high quality endoscopic diagnostics and therapeutic treatments for both lower and upper GI investigations. The service will enable timely access in line with the timescales outlined in this service specification for patients registered with GP Practices in West Lancashire.

West Lancashire CCG are seeking multiple providers through an accreditation scheme. Any provider who passes the accreditation process will be awarded a place on the scheme on a tariff basis. The accreditation scheme will be open permanently and the CCG will accept applications at any time that are consistent with the rules set out in the accreditation documents. Accredited providers will be added to the choose and book system. For more details please see the attachments with this notice.
