(NU/1605) Framework Agreement for the Provision of Occupational Health Services in Support of Faculty of Medical Sciences Students

Tender description

The Faculty of Medical Sciences, within Newcastle University, is aiming to create a framework agreement consisting of a range of occupational health services (OHS) to enable them to meet the requirements of the regulatory bodies of the General Medical Council (GMC), General Dental Council (GDC) and HealthCare Professionals Council (HCPC), to ensure graduates from its designated healthcare programme are 'fit to practise'. The prime aim of the service is to safeguard patients and the health and safety of the students. To achieve this, the service will need to have clinical and administrative facilities close to the teaching schools in the Faculty from where the students will be referred. Its practitioners must address the issues identified by the Schools on referral and work with other healthcare professionals and Newcastle University Student Wellbeing Service to achieve these aims. This will be underpinned by excellent operational relationships, good quality data, analysis and clear actionable advice.
