 Stakeholder engagement : Reprocurement of school aged immunisation services
Note: the online survey deadline is extended to Friday 5 May 2017
You may be aware that NHS England has recently announced its intention to recommission immunisation services for school aged children across a large part of the South West (Plymouth to South Gloucestershire) as many of the contracts are due to expire in 2018. This will include:
- Seasonal flu immunisation for children in primary schools in the following local authority areas: South Gloucestershire, Bristol, North Somerset, Somerset, Devon, Torbay, Plymouth.
- HPV, MenACWY and teenage booster immunisation in 4 local authority areas: Somerset, Devon, Torbay, Plymouth.
This procurement represents a real opportunity to address historical inconsistencies in service models that currently exist across the local school aged immunisation services, as well as ensuring that services are in a position to increase uptake and reduce health inequalities. There are a number of key decisions that we need to make in the coming months around future configuration of the services and your views are important to us.
An
online survey has been developed to
gather stakeholders’ views and help inform the decision making process - visit the O N L I N E S U R V E Y
Guidance documents | SW Schwimms procurement background AND SW Schwimms procurement options (anyone completing the survey should have a look at these before
completing their responses).
Contact NHS England | if you or any members have any queries or would
like us to come and discuss the procurement in more depth please contact us via

As you know the DSCB published three SCRs last year that related
to injuries to non-mobile babies.
Please see the 'bruising and injuries in non-mobile children' P O S T E R that we would ask you to
disseminate across your organisation and ask for it to be displayed in offices

bruise or injury to a non-mobile baby.

was written by Dr Deborah Stalker – Designated Doctor for NEW Devon CCG
