Medical practice services

Tender description

NHS Arden and GEM CSU on behalf of the Commissioner (NHS Thanet Clinical Commissioning Group) is aiming to establish improvements in GP access across all localities in its area. They wish to do so by inviting all interested potential providers to attend a market engagement event. The primary aim of this service is to improve access to General Medical Services (GMS) appointments for Thanet CCG patients. By so doing the CCG should be able to reduce the demand for urgent out of hours primary care services. This will increase the capacity of the GP out of hours provider and the primary care screening service to enable those services to more effectively manage urgent demands which can be met by a primary care clinician.
