Notice Title

HH004-22 Medical Support Services to Lawson Memorial Hospital

Notice Description

NHS Highland requires a Medical Support Service to be provided to Lawson Memorial Community Hospital based at Golspie in the North Highlands.

Procurement Information

This is a small community hospital providing care to the people of East Sutherland. It's role forms part of a clinical strategy to provide care to particularly older adults, close to their own community, with the delivery of care provided by their own GPs. Continuity of care is particularly important for this patient group. For this reason it is key that medical cover is provided by local practices, with the GPs fulfilling their role as Expert Medical Generalists as per the 2018 GMS contract, leading the wider multidisciplinary team. These practices are also small rural practices, which are amongst our most fragile providers. The income from the hospital contract is important to keep these as sustainable independent practices.
