Market Engagement Event for Reducing Violence Against Primary Care Staff - Patient Rehabilitation Programme PILOT SERVICE, for NHS England

NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU) on behalf of the Commissioners, NHS England (NHSE), would like to invite interested Providers, to take part in a market engagement event to inform how a pilot (new, test) service is commissioned.

NHSE would like to commission a small-scale pilot, Reducing Violence Against Primary Care Staff - Patient Rehabilitation Programme service, initially delivered within one Integrated Care System (ICS). We would like the successful supplier to work with us to agree the details of the programme.

A brief introduction to the pilot service is as follows:

To look at addressing the increase in violent or aggressive behaviour against NHS staff, our intention is to pilot a small-scale rehabilitation programme on an opt-in basis for both patients who have been placed in the Special Allocation Scheme and patients who have received a warning letter advising that due to their behaviour. This programme intends to adopt a trauma informed approach in order to ensure it meets the complex needs of some patients. We wish to work with a supplier to understand how best to deliver the programme in an effective and safe manner. We would encourage suppliers to incorporate opportunities for attendees to engage actively in the training and provide their view, enabling a two-way process, throughout the pilot.

The purpose of this event is to allow Providers to hear about and give feedback on the new concept of service, as well as networking with other Providers.

This engagement is taking place via Microsoft Teams on the afternoon of 4th January 2023, and all Providers are welcome to join (there is no limit on numbers).

To register for the event, we kindly ask that you send the following details to agem.procurementconsultancy@nhs.net, by no later than 5pm 30th December 2022:

You will be sent a calendar invite with further instructions how to join using Microsoft Teams.
