Description
The City and Hackney GP Confederation is now commissioned to act as the lead provider of community based Anti-coagulation services to patients registered with practices in City and Hackney, aside from a small number of patients with complex medical problems whose care remains in secondary care. The GP Confederation has sub-contracted provision of this Anti-coagulation service to a range of Anti-coagulation Centres across the geography. Some of these Centres care for their own registered patients only; others provide care for patients from “linked” practices. Whilst there is seldom need for specialist support, when is it is required by GP practices, for safety reasons it is crucial they can access highly skilled secondary care input. The Confederation is therefore commissioning a specialist support service to provide this secondary care level of input to support delivery of the overall anti-coagulation contract. The City and Hackney GP Confederation is commissioned to act as the lead provider of community based Anti-coagulation services to patients registered with practices in City and Hackney, aside from a small number of patients with complex medical problems whose care remains in secondary care. The GP Confederation has sub-contracted provision of this Anti-coagulation service to a range of Anti-coagulation Centres across the geography. Some of these Centres care for their own registered patients only; others provide care for patients from “linked” practices. Many of the C&H GPs and their practice staff have over 10 years of experience in providing this service, and as a consequence, seldom need specialist support. However when they do need it, for safety reasons it is crucial they can access highly skilled secondary care input. The Confederation is therefore commissioning a specialist support service from a suitably qualified secondary care provider.
