II.1.4) Short description
NHS Brent CCG requires a provider of outpatient Cardiology in a community setting with ability to do evening/weekend clinics. The Service will provide a Service User-centered model of care from the Provider premises, providing clear improvements to the patient experience, Service User safety and clinical outcomes. It will integrate effectively with the Brent Health Economy, and the CCG expects the Service Users' pathway to be seamless, including integrating with other Providers in Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Care to reduce the risk of duplication or discontinuity of services. Whilst the present service has been successfully delivered offering good value for money, the CCG now wishes to understand if there is any additional interest in delivering the Community Cardiology Service providing out-of-hospital experience and outcomes to patients at locally agreed tariffs with addition of evening/weekend clinics. The CCG is exploring alternative options to provide the service with extended access.
