Clincial Standards Review For Milton Keynes Clinical Commissioning Group

Milton Keynes Clinical Commissioning Group seek suitable qualified providers to undertake a review of the Clinical Standards required to support the development of Clinical Models (see attached specification). This requires an extensive review of the relevant standards appropriate to the Programme, and clear guidance on the implications of standards of the clinical model.

The initial focus of the engagement will be on developing an extensive list of clinical standards. This work should build upon the existing work undertaken with the Programme, primarily during the Monitor/McKinsey phase. However this part of the engagement should also utilise best practice from other systems – such as the Dorset Compendium of Clinical Evidence.

The successful provider will need to work with the Programme to support the validation of this list of clinical standards. The Programme will require the provider to support a Red Team review that will be undertaken by clinicians from within Milton Keynes and Bedfordshire CCGs. The Programme Team will then take responsibility for validating the list with the wider clinical community.
