Stoma Care Nurse Sponsorship Service
Introduction
The Stoma Care Nurse Sponsorship Service framework is a strategic initiative managed by the East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub designed to enhance stoma care services across the UK. This medical framework is not a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) and operates as a single lot. It is available to all NHS members and aims to standardize and elevate the quality of stoma care provided in both primary and secondary care environments. The framework is underpinned by findings from the StoMap Baseline Report, which scrutinized regional stoma care practices, guiding efforts to improve patient outcomes, enhance service delivery, and achieve cost efficiencies by minimising resource wastage.
Context & Use Case
The framework is established to provide a structured and consistent approach for the NHS to engage in sponsorship agreements for Stoma Care Nurses. It addresses the need for specialised nursing care to manage stoma-related complications effectively and ensure that patients have access to appropriate stoma care products. NHS trusts and healthcare providers across the UK can utilise this framework to ensure high standards of care are maintained pre- and post-operatively. By focusing on patient-centric service delivery and cost-effectiveness, the framework supports NHS organisations in delivering improved healthcare outcomes for stoma patients.
Scope of Services
The Stoma Care Nurse Sponsorship Service framework encompasses a range of services and models designed to support effective stoma care. These include: 1. Stoma Care Nurse Sponsorship Service Model: This model facilitates the sponsorship of nurses specialising in stoma care, ensuring they are equipped to deliver high-quality patient care and manage stoma-related issues efficiently. 2. Stoma Care Nurse Managed Service Model: Under this model, stoma care nurses play a central role in managing patient care, from pre-operative consultations to post-operative support and ongoing management of stoma care needs. 3. Standardisation of care practices across primary and secondary settings to maintain high service levels. 4. Access to specialised stoma care products and resources to support patient care.
Who Can Apply
The framework is tailored for suppliers and service providers specialising in medical and healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in stoma care and nursing. Organisations that can offer sponsorship or management services for stoma care nurses and have experience in delivering patient-focused healthcare solutions are well-suited to apply. Although this is not a DPS, meaning it does not allow for open applications throughout its life, interested suppliers should consider reviewing the framework’s specific requirements and engaging with the contracting authority for potential opportunities.
Buyer Benefits
Public sector buyers, such as NHS trusts and healthcare providers, benefit from this framework by leveraging a streamlined procurement process that ensures compliance with NHS guidelines. The framework supports a rapid deployment of services by providing a pre-approved route to market, reducing the time and effort required to establish new stoma care services. Additionally, it fosters competition and innovation among suppliers, ensuring that NHS organisations can access high-quality care solutions. This approach not only enhances patient care but also drives cost savings through reduced waste and efficient resource management.
