Description
The Council wishes to establish a Flexible Contracting Agreement for NHS Health Check and Smoking Cessation Services. The services will be split into two Lots as follows: o Lot 1: NHS Health Checks - One of Birmingham City Council's mandatory public health services is the NHS Health Check, which is provided by health professionals. It is a health examination for adults in England between the ages of 40 and 74. It is intended to detect early indications of dementia, type 2 diabetes, kidney illness, heart disease, and stroke. We are more likely to develop one of these conditions as we age. Finding measures to reduce this risk is assisted by an NHS Health Check. The examination includes a series of questions about a patient's health and lifestyle, including ones concerning physical activity, as well as measurements of height, weight, and blood pressure and a quick blood test to check cholesterol. The health professionals go through the results with the patient and discuss any changes required to enhance the patient's wellbeing. o Lot 2: Smoking Cessation Service - The Smoking Cessation Service is to be delivered by Pharmacies, GP Practices and other qualified providers. The model of smoking cessation support being commissioned is a 12 week behavioural programme that utilises a combination of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and electronic cigarettes (e-cigs), to reduce withdrawal cravings and advice/support that provides strategies to cope with quitting smoking. For this Lot, Providers can bid to deliver the 12-week programme, the NRT scheme or both.
