Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) screening in London and East Surrey (East Surrey CCG and Surrey Downs CCG areas)

NHS England (London Region) would like to invite providers to attend a Market Engagement Event that will allow the market:

• To be presented with the configuration of AAA Screening in London that will be put forward for the re-commissioning of the Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening Programme(s) in London and certain parts of East Surrey (East Surrey CCG and Surrey Downs CCG areas)

With the current contracts coming to an end it is necessary to re-commission this service. Public Health Section 7a Commissioning Intention supports the ambitions to improve health outcomes, tackle inequalities and secure best value for money. It is with these intentions that the AAA Screening Programmes in the above geographies will be re-procured.

The AAA Screening Programme (AAASP) aims to reduce AAA related mortality by providing a systematic population-based screening service for the male population during their 65th year and, on request, for men over 65.

The Market Engagement Event will take place on Tuesday, 24th Jan 2017 from 15:00-17:00 at The Wesley Hotel & Conference Venue, Euston House, 81-103 Euston Street, London, United Kingdom, NW1 2EZ.
