## Summary

The NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit is initiating a provider engagement event for Musculoskeletal (MSK) Services in Berkshire West, with the title "Provider Engagement Event for MSK Services in Berkshire West." This process is currently in the planning stage, with a scheduled workshop set for the 15th of June, running from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM. The event aims to gather insights from service providers to inform the development of integrated MSK services in the region. Interested participants should RSVP to Zoe Sugrue via email by the engagement end date of 23rd February 2018. This procurement falls under the health services category, specifically outlined by the CPV code 85100000, and targets delivery primarily in the South East and South West regions of the United Kingdom.

This engagement event presents valuable opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector, especially those specialising in MSK services. Companies involved in healthcare provision, rehabilitation, physiotherapy, or related clinical services would be well-positioned to participate. Engaging directly with the commissioning organisations will allow these businesses to influence the future direction of MSK service delivery, enhance their visibility in the market, and potentially secure contracts that contribute to the improvement of healthcare services in Berkshire West.

## Notice

Berkshire West are comprised of four CCGs who work in a federated arrangement across the Berkshire West area. The commissioning organisations are North and West Reading, Newbury and District, South Reading and Wokingham CCGs. The CCGs work together on four key areas/programmes: Urgent Care, Long Term Conditions, Planned Care and Joint Commissioning, The programmes are led by: * Planned Care, Newbury & District CCG * Urgent Care, North and West Reading CCG * Long Term Conditions, South Reading CCG * Joint Commissioning, Wokingham The group has implemented a robust executive management structure across all four CCGs. MSK Context MSK conditions are the largest single contributor to years of life lost to disability after the age of 30 years in the UK. Nationally 1 in 5 people consult their GP each year for a musculoskeletal condition. Over the course of the last year Berkshire West have been examining the provision for MSK services and as a part of that "discovery" have had a number of discussions and events engaging with patients, public and clinicians to help identify and determine the key issues within the current service as well as to start to collect, collate and form ideas that help us to understand what a really first class new service for patients might look like. As an overarching strategy for MSK the CCGs' aim is to deliver a fully integrated pathway for MSK. Next Steps Before the commissioners determine and or formalise the next steps for the evolution of MSK in Berkshire West we would very much like to speak directly with any and all MSK service providers both locally and across the UK in a workshop engagement setting to be held on the 15th of June. The event is planned for a 2 hour duration and will start at 4.30pm through 6.30pm. Please RSVP your attendance to Zoe.sugrue@nhs.net and further details will be provided. We look forward to meeting with you, discussing and engaging on all things MSK.
