The service will provide patients with timely access to diagnostics and treatment, providing a ‘one-stop’ service where possible and appropriate, and will be delivered by a range of appropriately trained and accredited clinicians that may include: • GPs • GPwSIs (must be appropriately trained and accredited) • ENT Specialist Nurses • Audiologists • ENT Staff Grade Doctors • ENT Consultants The service should improve access to ENT services, enabling a reduction in waiting times and improved choice for patients. It will allow GPs to refer patients for investigation without the need for a secondary care referral, and within a shorter timeframe. The following is provided for the purposes of guidance only and is a purely indicative range. The approximate value of current services is between £1.3m to £1.5m a year. The CCGs would seek to achieve appropriate financial efficiencies as a result of the subsequent procurement exercise.
