Attendance rates in A&E for the acute hospitals across the city (University Hospital Birmingham (UHB) and Good Hope) are increasingly rising to potentially unsustainable levels. Statistics estimate that circa 20% of attendances to A&E are avoidable and should be seen and treated within Primary Care. The CCG aims to situate a GP, ANP and HCA at the front door to A&E on each of the two sites for 12 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year in an attempt to reduce attendance to A&E and instead be seen by a GP through correct streaming. The procurement will be split into 2 lots – (1) University Hospital Birmingham (2) Good Hope Hospital – each lot will run for a full 9 month period. Applicable activity data and information around each lot is provided in the ITT documentation. Providers can bid for one or both of the lots.
