The service aims to provide a community based Helicobacter Pylori (H-Pylori) C13 Urea Breath Test (C13 UBT) for patients who have presented with dyspepsia symptoms to their General Practitioner (GP) in ELR, LC and WL CCG, who have identified that they require this test. The aims and objectives of the service are: • To enable appropriate and timely treatment for the management of dyspepsia • To improve the care of patients with dyspepsia symptoms through the provision of a standardised effective and evidence based H. pylori service. • To ensure that all patients with dyspepsia requiring a H-Pylori test as per NICE guidelines have access to this test in a community setting • To improve access and choice for patients • To ensure that all requests for Endoscopy are appropriate and only those patients with “ALARM symptoms” are referred to secondary care providers. This will prevent unnecessary and inappropriate outpatient attendances which has an emphasis on providing better value for money • To ensure that the treatment and review of dyspeptic patients is documented on practice computer systems so that a register of patients with dyspepsia can be produced In addition, an aim of this opportunity is to widen the provider market and increase patient choice.

Any provider will be eligible to join a list of qualified providers subject to demonstrating competency against the authority’s specified criteria. The list will be open to new entrants to the market, and previous unsuccessful applicants subject to assessment. 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 Any Qualified Provider model, there will be no guarantees of volume or payment in the contracts awarded.
