Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) - Physiotherapy Services

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) - Physiotherapy Services

Early engagement

We are seeking expressions of interest from organisations/individuals interested in providing a Physiotherapy for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) service across Hull and East Yorkshire. CFS is a complex, chronic medical condition in which people often experience a fluctuation in symptoms. In summary, the requirement is to provide specialist assessment and treatment to meet the needs of people with CFS, whilst ensuring treatment interventions meet the standards required for HCPC Proficiency. The service will be delivered during the period of 09:00-17:00 Monday-Friday and from the provider's premises. The premises must be accessible to patients within the catchment area and be fully compliant with business building regulations for health and safety. The model assumes a specialist clientele in which trust and a person-centred approach is required. Recognising that clients may need to be seen on more than a few occasions to gain trust, previous experience delivering chronic fatigue physiotherapy is essential. Referrals for the service currently average around 16 pcm.

The service is to commence during August 2024.

If you would like to express interest in delivering this service, could you please email c.reeson@nhs.net on or before 5th July 2024 providing a brief overview of your capacity, capability, Costings and experience of delivering a service such as this.
