Whitby Hospital Medical Staffing

Whitby Hospital Medical Staffing

Early engagement

HFT/439/2022

We are seeking expressions of interest from organisations interested in providing a Medical Staffing service into Whitby Hospital. In summary, the requirement is to provide medical care to Whitby Hospital during the period 08:00 until 18:30 on weekdays. At other times clinical responsibility would pass to the Out of Hours provider. The model assumes an inpatient unit (IPU) of approximately 16 beds providing step-up and step-down services focusing on rehabilitation and an Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC). The service comprises both non-resident and embedded clinical sessions. The non-resident service provides a rapid response to the hospital inpatient unit and UTC within agreed response times. The embedded service is based on ten x 3.5 hour sessions per normal working week to be provided by designated GPs. These sessions would be resident (RMO) and not on call.

The Trust recognises the capacity pressures facing the GP community and would therefore consider a flexible/MDT model approach to the above which may include a mix of Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANP).

A detailed service specification is attached for information. The service is to commence on 1st October 2022.

If you would like to express interest an interest in this service could you please email mturner10@nhs.net on or before 11th March 2022 providing a brief overview of your capacity, capability and experience of delivering a service such as this.
