VEAT for the Provision of Consultants & Clinicians for Medicine CB

Location

Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan:

Description

The Medicine Clinical Board have an urgent requirement for 2 Acute Physicians and 2 Gastro Locums for a period of 12 weeks due to current service provider being unable to provide further/additional medical Consultants

Total Quantity or Scope

Due to the increased pressure that the C&V UHB is currently under the current service provider is unable to support any further / additional medical Consultants or Gastro Locums. All agencies on AW Frameworks have been approached but they also do not have the ability to support. There is a need to obtain further medical support in order to ensure there is a reduced risk to harm to patients. There are long waits to be seen due to an increased number of patients attending the Emergency Unit department. The knock on effect of delaying medical reviews is that it delays treatment and increases the acuity of the patient, therefore increasing the length of stay when admitted. There is an urgent requirement to procure 2 x Acute Physician Consultants to cover sessions in EU/AU and 2 x Locums for Gastroenterology to provide Ward Cover. This is a short term requirement.
