IHT have developed a specification outlining the provision of acute and community elements of the service as an overall integrated model of care. To achieve this aspiration IHT are seeking to identify a community provider(s) who would deliver orthodontic services in west Suffolk, east Suffolk and north east Essex localities who are capable of delivering the community based activity, and who are willing to integrate with the existing acute services to provide end to end pathways. The aim of the integrated service will be to improve accessibility, reduce waiting times, and deliver a seamless integrated model of care. The total annual budget for the community element is anticipated to be 350,000 GBP. This is an estimation due to the potential for change associated with how the acute and community elements of provision are aligned over the lifetime of the contract.
