## Summary

The Health Education England has awarded a contract for the development of a Preceptorship for Physician Associates in Hospital Eye Health. The tender falls under the category of Education and training services with a value of £300,000 in GBP. The tender process concluded on 29th March 2023, and the contract period is from 30th March 2023 to 30th March 2024. The buying organisation for this procurement is Health Education England based in Leeds, United Kingdom.

This opportunity for business growth involves the creation of a 'preceptorship' training programme for Physician Associates in eye health, aiming to expand the allied workforce within Hospital Eye Services. Businesses in the education and training services industry, specifically those with expertise in Ophthalmology services and multidisciplinary team training, would be well-suited to compete in this tender. The geographical location for service delivery is primarily in the United Kingdom, with specific emphasis on the National HEE Region.

## Notice

Hospital Eye Services (HES) require a significant expansion in an 'allied' workforce to meet the requirements of the increasing demand to Ophthalmology services across the country. PAs are currently working across 46 specialties both in the hospital and in primary and community care, but none are known to work within an Ophthalmology setting. The initial training and core capabilities framework for Physician Associates (PAs) position them as valuable members of a multidisciplinary team in the HES. The objective of this project is the development of a 'preceptorship' training programme for PAs in eye health incorporating the Ophthalmic Practitioner Training (OPT) Programme and piloting this across at least two HES sites. Additional information: HEE Region - National
