Lot Information

Lot 1

We are seeking to pilot a partnership approach with a provider of Mental Services in the Hull Area. Please note that this is a broader requirement than providing agency or locum mental health professional staffing into Yorkshire Ambulance Service. For the planned pilot, the supplier would need to be CQC registered as a mental health service provider in the Hull area. The supplier would need to have their own clinical and operational governance processes in place, with an independent clinical record keeping system. A key factor will also be for the provider to have knowledge of the local mental health crisis services and alternatives to Emergency Department conveyance for patients with mental health needs presenting in the community. This is a new service and has been awarded to a new provider. This notice is an intention to award a contract under the most suitable provider process. Approximately 6 months, firm dates yet to be agreed. Most suitable provider process with regard to the key criteria with a weighting of 100% Additional information: The overarching objectives for this service are to:
* Provide parity of esteem to mental health patients, ensuring their physical and mental health needs are assessed and treated.
* Ensure that patients receive the right care in the right place, first time.
* Promote collaboration and integration across the Mental Health and Urgent & Emergency Care Services.
* Appropriately redirect the flow of mental health patients away from the Emergency Department (ED). Examples of alternative referral pathways may include conveyance to a crisis cafe, referral to a mental health crisis pathway or self-care advice.
* Better patient, staff, and referrer experience by ensuring a reduction in duplicate assessments and avoiding unnecessary conveyances to the Emergency Department
* Appropriately reduce the time emergency services (including Police) and other Health Care Professionals (HCPs) spend dealing with members of the community experiencing a mental health crisis.
* For YAS staff to gain on scene and remote support and advice from an appropriately trained mental health professional about mental health, intervention options and available services.
