HEE (East Midlands) Foundation School - Trent - END OF LIFE CARE TRAINING

Tender description

Health Education England (working across the East Midlands) hereafter referred to as 'The Authority' is seeking tenders from suppliers to provide quotes for the delivery of training sessions to Foundation School doctors as outlined in this paper. The training sessions will be delivered to Foundation Trainees within the Trent Foundations Schools between October and June. The 2021 Foundation curriculum describes Specific Areas of Core Learning to include 'The dying patient': All Foundation Doctors should understand the principles of compassionate care of the dying patient and those important to them. Teaching should provide the Foundation Doctor with an approach to managing the last hours of life and introduce the concept of caring for patients who have entered the 'last year of their life'. Teaching on this topic should align with the six ambitions for palliative and end of life care with emphasis on: • Recognising the dying patient • Sensitive communication including 'talking about death' • Involving and supporting the patient and those important to them • Planning, coordinating and delivering individualised care to maximise comfort and wellbeing. The total contract value is anticipated to be £57,960.00 over the full 2 year contract based on current number of trainees. The contract period will be for (12) months, with the option to extend for a further (12) months subject to annual review and available budget. The deadline for submission of completed ITT submissions is 30th September 2022 at 12:00pm (midday). Late submissions will not be accepted therefore, please submit in good time prior to the deadline date and time. All communications should be made via the messaging function on the e-Tendering portal during the tender exercise. The Contracting Authority requests that all communications are channelled through the e-portal system and not with the Contracting Authority itself other than as expressly permitted within this ITT.
