NWL0114 Provision of Adult Respiratory Long-Term Monitoring and Paediatric Long-Term Monitoring services in North Kensington

NWL CCG requires the provision of Adult Respiratory Long-Term Monitoring and Paediatric Long-Term Monitoring services in North Kensington - West London. The aim of the service is to provide long-term respiratory monitoring for survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire and long-term paediatric monitoring for children and young people who are either survivors, bereaved, born to a survivor or living with a bereaved person.

Eligible patients must have access to an annual appointment with a consultant within a local setting suitable to the patient - i.e. GP Practice, community clinic and/or hospital.

The service provider must have an intimate understanding of the local and eligible service population. In addition, strong working relationships with local GP practices, community and voluntary services are essential.

Service specific key requirements include:

North Kensington Adult Respiratory Long-Term Monitoring Service

• Annual lung function testing

• Diagnosis and management of respiratory related conditions

• Advice and guidance on management of respiratory related conditions

• Ability to onward refer as required - i.e. respiratory physiotherapy, radiology

• Wider support and reassurance for other non-respiratory related conditions

North Kensington Paediatric Long-Term

Monitoring Service

• Weight monitoring

• Dental hygiene

• Diet check and advice

• Sleep pattern assessment

• Immunisations review

• Physical wellbeing assessment

• Social wellbeing assessment

• Mental health assessment

• Ability to signpost

Providers must be local to North Kensington, have knowledge of the community affected by the Grenfell Tower fire and led by consultants. Both Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (ICHT) and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (CWHFT) were recipients of those affected in the hours and days following the fire and have continued to serve the community thereafter.

Going forward, the above services will be incorporated into the larger Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (ICHT) core agreement and expressions of interest are therefore not sought.

NWL CCG is committed to assess the needs of the service users and consider how (if relevant) it needs to secure the needs of the people who use the services, and improve the quality and efficiency in the provision of the services including through the services being provided in an integrated way.

During 2022, it is anticipated that NWL CCG will be succeeded by an Integrated Care Board (ICB). Any future contract and/or procurement opportunity may therefore be in the name of the ICB.
