Expression of Interest for Lincolnshire Community Surgery Any Qualified Provider (AQP) Window 3

Tender description

Lincolnshire CCG Commissioners wish to invite suitably qualified providers to express their interest in taking part in a 3rd window of the Community Surgery Scheme. The aim of the service is to provide an accessible, comprehensive and confidential assessment and treatment service for certain conditions which can be treated in a safe and effective way in the community without the need for general anaesthetic for all patients over the age of 16 (except patients referred for a Vasectomy who need to be over the age of 18). The service will cover a range of specialties including orthopaedic, dermatology, ophthalmic, general surgery, podiatry, gynaecology and urology. We are interested in increasing the range of procedures offered in the service. Further details of the conditions and procedures performed by the service will be provided should there be sufficient interest to open a 3rd window. The service will be available to those patients who are registered with a GP within any of the Lincolnshire CCGs or patients who are ordinarily resident in Lincolnshire but not registered with a GP.
