Health and social work services

Description

The service model and commissioning intentions include for the Provider of MSK services to: — Improve,support, manage and coordinate MSK need and conditions delivered primarily in General Practice but with access to expertise in secondary care for advice, collaboration and onward referral when required, — Work closely alongside GPs to encourage and enable GPs to provide support and self-help/management of the patients' MSK conditions without the need for onward referral. The locally developed vision includes the co-location of physiotherapy with General Practice to facilitate closer working relationships, enhance the skill set of GPs to manage MSK conditions and strengthen adherence to agreed care pathways between primary and secondary care. The CCG has awarded a contract for 3 years to the appointed provider with the option extend for up to a further 2 years at the CCG's discretion. The contract was awarded following a bespoke single stage procurement process under Schedule 3 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015.
