Notice Information

Notice Title

Group Clinics Support - H&G Accelerators

Notice Description

NHS England wishes to engage specialist support in setting up group clinics, for the purposes of the NHS developing its role in work coaching i.e. to report to NHS England if and how NHS-provided work coaching might be delivered in a group rather than one-to-one model. This requirement is to purchase scoping (development) support from an expert in group clinics in NHS settings. This requirement does not include establishing or evaluating group models for work coaching. It is scoping to inform those subsequent opportunities. The context is that, while there exists evidence of group clinics delivering improved (or at least equivalent) outcomes across many pathways, there is an absence of evidence for their use in NHS-led support for employment, such as work coaching. This project will provide hands-on scoping support (defined in section C below) to the three ICB Health and Growth Accelerators. This will identify which of their work coaching or similar support might be suitable for a group approach, how those should be designed, and to work through practical implementation details.
