The vision is that the Supplier will facilitate a culture of transformation in haemodialysis, where patients are supported, fully engaged and empowered and where patients can get a positive experience of healthcare. The service model seeks to deliver a practice and culture change, moving care largely to the community within satellite or community dialysis units. There are two core elements of the service specification which are: 1. The provision of the facilities and equipment required to deliver in-centre haemodialysis. 2. The provision of equipment required to deliver home haemodialysis. In addition to these two core service elements, CMFT are also seeking proposals for the provision of the associated Clinical Services (nursing, clinical support and administrative services) required to provide haemodialysis treatment to patients.
