The Central Vale Cluster is looking to continue work with Mind in the Vale, who can provide practices within the area, with a small team of dedicated staff who will be able to accept and manage referrals from the 6 practices as part of a ‘single point of coordination and access’ model. These referrals will be for patients who require onward referral onto existing, locally provided community services to meet their socio-economic and wellbeing needs as opposed to primary health needs. It is envisaged that this level of funding should be sufficient to employ a minimum of 2 staff to provide the ‘single access point’. These staff will need to be accommodated either within a designated practice. The cluster requires the ‘single point of access’ to operate Monday-Friday (exclusive of bank holidays).

The Central Vale Cluster is looking to continue work with Mind in the Vale who can provide practices within the area, with a small team of dedicated staff who will be able to accept and manage referrals from the 6 practices as part of a ‘single point of coordination and access’ model. These referrals will be for patients who require onward referral onto existing, locally provided community services to meet their socio-economic and wellbeing needs as opposed to primary health needs. The single point of access team will need to be able to accept and appropriately manage referrals from GP Practices, ensuring all appropriate Information Governance frameworks are in place for the sharing and storing of patient information. They will then be required to undertake a level of guided triage of referrals so as to be able to direct patients onto the appropriate service for their needs, providing feedback to the referring practices as appropriate. The single access team will need to develop and maintain relationships with existing services eg Tier Zero mental health (MIND), Homes4U, Glamorgan Voluntary Services, RCS (wellbeing in work) and other local services. Part of the contract requirement will also be to ensure maximum use of existing community services and identify, over the course of the contract, any specific gaps in service provision based on the needs of the population in the Central Vale Cluster.

The contract is for 1 year with the option to extend for 2 years, reviewed every 12 months.
