## Description

NHS Milton Keynes Clinical Commissioning Group \(MKCCG\) are seeking to procure an Integrated Community Musculoskeletal and Pain Management Service \(IMSK\) that is high quality, flexible and can meet, grow and respond to the changing needs of the Milton Keynes healthcare environments\. Following a successful pilot, MKCCG wishes to award a substantive contract for a community based service for the people of Milton Keynes\. This supports the CCG’s Care Closer to Home strategy, and will enable shorter treatment pathways for some conditions, at the same time releasing secondary care capacity for more complex cases\. The objectives of the IMSK service are to: • Provide Outpatient clinics closer to home for the patients • Reduce the congestion on the secondary care waiting lists by diverting patients who do not need to go to a secondary care outpatient clinic and therefore help MKCCG and providers to achieve the 18 week Referral to Treatment target \(RTT\) • Produce a ‘one stop shop’ for patients wherever possible to reduce the pathway time • Reduce the cost of the Outpatient appointments versus Payment by Results \(PbR\), either by commissioning services at a lower overall cost; reduce significantly the number of follow ups, whilst maintaining or improving a high quality of patient experience\. NHS Milton Keynes CCG would like to invite potential providers to a market place event to be held at 155 Sherwood Drive, Bletchley, Milton Keynes MK3 6RT on Monday 1st August 2016 at 2\.00pm\. Places are limited to two representatives per organisation\. Please can you confirm your attendance to Stephen\.Ivuerah@ardengemcsu\.nhs\.uk by 4\.00pm on Friday 29th July 2016\. Thank you\.
