The minor injuries unit was closed in February 2020 as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and there is a need to ensure that services are reinstated as soon as possible. The service will: - Ensure patients have a positive experience of care. - Improve accessibility and flexibility for patients, ensuring care is built around the patients not the services. - Ensure that patients are effectively prioritised, directed and seen by the right clinician and receive the right treatment ensuring that health needs are met in the most appropriate setting. This will include signposting to appropriate alternative services, including minor eye care services, ensuring patients are not re-directed inappropriately to emergency care settings for the management of minor injuries. - Provide consistent clinical assessment of a patients needs at the first point of contact. - In collaboration with other Providers, patients receive a seamless and integrated urgent care response by the MIU that is appropriate to clinical need and supported by care pathways across organisational boundaries. - Promote and support a provision of patient/carer education relating to self-care post visit. The contract will run for 12 months from the service start date which is estimated to be no later than 14th September 2022, with an option to extend for up to a further 12 months.
