The aim is to provide a high quality physiotherapy service for a range of non-urgent musculoskeletal conditions that can be provided safely in the community setting. This will ensure patients have choice and ease of access and will meet the overall objectives of delivering care closer to home. The overarching aims of the service are to: • Provide a high quality, cost effective and patient-centred physiotherapy service for people with MSK conditions; • Provide timely access, closer to home for physiotherapy assessment to support earlier intervention and diagnosis; • Empower people to be active partners in their own care with strong emphasis on patient education, self-management and promoting health lifestyles; • Ensure streamlined, integrated care for people with MSK conditions; • Provide advice and support to General Practitioners in managing MSK conditions; • Prevent unnecessary first and follow-up outpatient appointments in secondary care. The Provider(s) will work actively and collaboratively with WCCG commissioners to develop the service to support wider MSK service transformation. The service must integrate seamlessly with the Wakefield community MSK service. NHS Wakefield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) serves a registered population of approximately 350,000 people. There are a small number of providers that currently deliver community physiotherapy services in the Wakefield District. The successful provider(s) will provide a community physiotherapy service located within the boundaries of Wakefield District and accessible to adults registered with Wakefield GPs. In securing services from Any Qualified Providers (AQP), NHS Wakefield CCG requires assurance of competence, quality and safety standards, just as it would for services secured under a formal tender process. Any provider will be eligible to apply for this AQP subject to demonstrating compliance and competency against the specified criteria outlined in the service specification. The successful provider(s) will be expected to sign the standard NHS contract, accepting all terms and conditions. It should be noted that under the AQP model, there will be no guarantees of volume or payment in the contracts awarded. The service will be paid by units of activity at the following rates: First appointment £36, Follow-Up appointments £24. The full details of the service can be found in the service specification. ### Additional information: How to apply Suppliers Instructions How to Express Interest in this Tender~: 1.
