Notice Information

Notice Title

Specialist Health Assessment Service

Notice Description

NCAS provides a confidential service to the health and social care service resolving concerns about the performance of practitioners. Our aim is to work with all parties to clarify the concerns, understand what may be leading to them, and to develop and deliver effective interventions to help healthcare providers ensure practitioners continue to deliver a high-quality and safe service for patients. We assess a practitioner's fitness for purpose rather that the Regulatory fitness to practise. A proportion of the cases referred to NCAS require performance assessments or other interventions, and occupational health assessments may be a component of these. Additionally, on occasion NCAS may decide to utilise occupational health assessments as a standalone intervention. This contract will support NCAS in the development and delivery of the following interventions: * Occupational health assessments as a component of a full performance assessment * Occupational health assessments as part of a behavioural assessment * Occupational health assessments as a standalone intervention This contract is for the provision of full neuropsychological/neuropsychiatric evaluations (defined as a specialist health assessment) of practitioners who NCAS' occupational health assessors suspect may have cognitive dysfunction. The initial occupational health screen currently uses the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination (ACE-III) and referrals for specialist health assessments are usually made for those scoring below an agreed level.
