The event will be held at the London Borough of Bexley (LBB) Civic offices Bexleyheath DA6 7AT This will be an informal event to share the vision of Bexley's future UTC in the context of the wider urgent care services offer and receive feedback from potential providers regarding the draft specification and other aspects of the planned procurement. NHS South East London Integrated Care Board (NHS SEL ICB, the Authority) has stated its intention to commission a model of Urgent Care service for Bexley residents. Procurement and Contracting Hub hosted by NHS North East London Integrated Care Board is managing this market engagement exercise on behalf of the Authority. There are currently 2 standalone Urgent Treatment Centres (UTC) across the borough • One standalone unit in North Bexley at Erith Hospital • One standalone unit at Queen Mary's Hospital Sidcup There are currently 2 local primary care access hubs however this may change with the introduction of the Primary care Network Contract Enhanced Services (DES). Within Bexley the vision is to create an urgent and emergency care system (one system multiple facilities) that can deliver equitable access to the right care first time for local patients through a networked model with services provided along robust pathways 24/7. This is an opportunity for a genuine integrated Urgent and Emergency (UEC) Care service, aligning NHS 111, London Ambulance Service (LAS), the Intermediate Care Services, Primary care, GP out-of- hours, GP extended hours hubs, and Emergency Departments. The new urgent treatment centre service will be delivered from the existing 2 standalone sites. Across the borough these are situated in North Bexley at Erith Hospital and at Queen Mary's Hospital Sidcup, alongside and in conjunction with local primary care access hubs. Additional information: The expectation of the 2 standalone UTC's in Bexley is that one will be open 24hrs a day/ 7 days a week (Queen Mary's Hospital) and the other will be open 13hrs a day/7 days a week (Erith Hospital). The UTC will include open access patients and will include scheduled or appointed patients (e.g. via NHS 111) with urgent need. It is expected that the urgent treatment centre model will be fully implemented in Bexley by April 2023. Bexley's Local Care Partnership (LCP) involves the NHS, local authority, service providers, charities and voluntary sector coming together to work in partnership, to design health and care services around the concept of 'place'. The LCP is continuing to develop and test its draft model of care requirements and invites potentially interested providers of urgent care services to help test aspects of the new service requirements and potential commercial options.
