Auckland, Counties Manukau and Waitemata District Health Boards ("Metro Auckland DHBs") wish to purchase the provision of minor surgical services from General Practitioners.
The Metro Auckland Minor Skin Surgery clinical governance group ("the Group") wishes to improve access to minor skin surgery and believes that this can be achieved by providing such surgery in primary care. The Group is made up of clinical and managerial representatives from the Metro Auckland DHBs and primary care.
The Group has developed a regionally consistent pathway for skin cancer diagnosis and management of minor non-pigmented skin cancers (basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas) referred to the Metro Auckland DHB hospitals for surgical treatment.
You are invited to register your interest in providing minor skin surgery ("the Service") in a primary care setting.
Applicants who are interested in providing the Service must supply the information requested in the attached document. Following an evaluation of applicants' information, a shortlisted group will be asked to provide some further clinical information to enable a final selection of providers to be made. Following this, selected applicants will be recommended to the Metro Auckland DHBs as appropriate Providers to supply the Service. The DHBs may enter into contracts with any or all of those recommended applicants.
While this invitation has been issued on behalf of the Metro Auckland DHBs as a group, any contracts that result will be with an individual DHB.
The closing date is 5pm Friday 29th October 2010.
If you require any further information about the Expression of Interest please contact the Secretariat, Lara Sedcole on lara.sedcole@waitematadhb.govt.nz or through GETS.
