Description

The provider will work with GP practices across South Tees to increase cervical screening uptake in those practices from the most deprived IMD deciles and that have the lowest screening uptake. Patients targeted will be those that have not responded to previous screening invitations. The most suitable provider, ELM Alliance have been chosen as they currently have data sharing agreements with all GP practices acros South Tees. This is a key critial success factor as the project will incorporate a dedicated team of callers to go through practice lists and telephone patients that do not have an adequate cervical screening status recorded. The callers will contact patients, inform them of the importance of cervical screening and book them into a cervical screening clinic appointment. It is anticipated that the project will run for 6 months, providiing a delivery of 26 weeks, during the 30 week wiondow of September 2024 to March 2025. The provider will be expected to collate a minimum data set (MDS) including NHS number, age, ethnicity, postcode, GP practice, screening accepted/declined. If declined reason for declining and any support offered to attend, translator, support with travel costs or other. The provider is expected to submit KPIs relating to the service delivery to the Commissioner as agreed at the commencement of the contract.
