Integrated Musculoskeletal Service

Tender description

Musculoskeletal (MSK) services are provided across Wirral and include elective orthopaedics, orthopaedic outpatients, physiotherapy, podiatry, pain management and rheumatology. Patients are typically referred into these services from general practice; however admissions through the emergency department and minor injury units are also common place. NHS Wirral Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) seeks to implement an Integrated MSK Service under a prime provider contract. The CCG intends to award a contract to a single provider who will either deliver in its entirety or sub-contract up to a maximum of 30 % (by value) of service provision. The Integrated MSK service must be a consultant led service, accessible through a triage service operating in a community based setting and be integrated in to onward secondary care services
