Staffs Community Dermatology Assessment & Treatment Service

North Staffordshire, Stoke on Trent CCG, Stafford and Surrounds CCG, Cannock Chase CCG and South East Staffordshire and Seisdon Peninsular CCG may be looking at community dermatology for Tier 3 services.

This is to include a multi-disciplinary one stop consultant led community dermatology service; patients shall be seen by a Consultant, Dermatology Registrar, GP with Special Interest or specialist nurse, and where appropriate shall be assessed and treated in the same appointment.

For any patient that requires further intervention through to secondary care, the service will need to work closely with local partner organisations to ensure a swift coordinated pathway is followed and that all service users are transferred to the appropriate specialty with all relevant transfer documentation.

This in turn will ensure reduction of delays in overall pathway of care, ensuring service user experience is at the heart of all care.

There is a requirement that the service will be provided within community locations throughout Staffordshire boundaries allowing patient choice closer to home.

This will need to ensure that any services tailored around disability such as additional needs e.g electric doors, ramps or any form of interpretation (verbal or visual).

This notice intends to identify suppliers who would like to express an interest for this service.

The CCGs are initially asking for organisations to register their Expressions of Interest only at this stage by email to Elizabeth.johnson1@nhs.net by Friday 18th January 2019.

Please provide organisation name, contact name, job title, web address, email address and telephone number within the email.
