The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. <br/>Decision makers: Simon Dowse - Director of Transformation, Strategy & Improvement. Abigail Turner - DDO, CHIC Division.<br/><br/>The basic selection criteria and the key criteria were assessed by reflecting on the evidence provided by SDHC Ltd. SDHC Ltd have successfully delivered a pilot over 12 months, where the provider met all the specified criteria. The quality of the provision to date exceeds expectations and is critical to service quality overall. The service provider has directly supported innovation of the service, pathways, promotion or the service within ESHT and wider GP community. They are also working with us on innovating training for VW medical support.<br/><br/>The VW service and GP service provider have a well embedded and positive working relationship. The arrangement offers an exemplar for integrated acute, community and primary care working and collaboration - to deliver a service that offers better outcomes for patients and use of health and care resources<br/><br/>The GP service continues to offer significant value vs recruiting our own GPs, using our own consultant resource or using 'agency'.<br/><br/>The service recruits manage and provides GPs through the Federation. Lessons and challenges from the ESHT approach to recruiting in-house GPs for our UTC model indicate that this approach, working with the Federation, is more sustainable, more resilient and more cost-effective. (We are exploring options to use this model for other services)<br/><br/>The GP service provided is critical to delivery of the VW - which represents an increase in patient choice."
