Integrated Community Musculoskeletal (MSK) and Pain Service

Market Engagement Event: 1st December 2016 Herts Valleys CCG wish to engage with providers with expertise and experience to deliver the following musculoskeletal (MSK) and pain service for residents within west Hertfordshire: • Triage • MSK physiotherapy (including direct access for GPs) • Chronic MSK pain management • Hand therapy • Community rheumatology • Diagnostics included in the MSK and pain pathway • Primary care education (including advice line) Providers in the market place will have the opportunity to meet and talk to Herts Valleys CCG staff and clinical leads involved in the commissioning of this service.

It is expected that the market event will be an interactive session, providing an overview of the existing service and will seek ideas, suggestions and comments as to what the new service could provide and how it could be delivered.

This event is intended only to gather information from the market, and to request information which may be relevant to the development of any eventual procurement strategy/tender.

For the avoidance of doubt this notice is NOT a call for competition.

The scope and structure of these services may be further developed following this market and stakeholder engagement and currently anticipated requirements may change as a result of this ongoing activity.
