Market Engagement for Advice and Guidance Platform for Health Professionals for NHS Derby and Derbyshire ICB

NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board (referred to as the Commissioner) are inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers who can deliver an Advice and Guidance service to health care professionals across NHS Derby and Derbyshire ICB to participate in some pre-market engagement.

The aim of the service is to facilitate advice and guidance on the management of patients in Derbyshire from secondary care consultants at our secondary care Trusts Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (CRH) and University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust (UHDB) across a range of specialties. Where the local consultants are not available this will need to be supported by the provision of NHS consultants based within the UK.

The advice and guidance will provide health care professionals with continued access to specialist clinical advice, enabling a patient’s care to be managed in the most appropriate setting, strengthening shared decision making and avoiding unnecessary outpatient activity.
