Yorkshire and the Humber Equitable Access to Primary Care Medical Services - Potential Provider Information Day
Thursday 10th April 2008: Afternoon or Friday 11th April 2008: Morning
Venue and agenda tbc, Yorkshire area
The PCTs in Yorkshire and the Humber are seeking to improve access to high quality primary medical care by increasing the number of GP practices and Health Centres within the region.
Following on from Lord Darzi’s report ‘Our NHS, Our Future’, this ambitious programme represents an exciting opportunity to build on the existing primary care provision within the region in order to tackle some of the service challenges that we face.
The commissioning PCTs are: Barnsley, Bradford & Airedale, Calderdale, Doncaster, East Riding of Yorkshire, Hull, Kirklees, Leeds, North East Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, North Yorkshire & York, Rotherham, Sheffield and Wakefield.
As a first step, the Yorkshire and the Humber Strategic Health Authority and PCTs are inviting all interested parties to an information day.
The aim of the event is to:
-Give potential providers a greater understanding of the Yorkshire and Humber Equitable Access programme, our aims, objectives and timescales.
- Provide an insight into the specific PCT strategies and collaborative approaches being considered in approaching the market.
-Allow the SHA and PCTs to engage with potential providers and begin to understand how innovation could be used to increase capacity, improve the local health outcomes and enhance patient choice in the region.
Target audience: All potential bidders that wish to gain a greater insight into Yorkshire and the Humber region and PCT specific plans for the Equitable Access Primary Care procurements. Attendees are expected to include Entrepreneurial GPs, Social Enterprises and Third Sector providers.
Following on from this event, there will be further information sessions for potential providers.
There are two opportunities to attend the session. Please see below for booking information.
