Official UK procurement notice
Medical Locum Agency Provision
Authority: NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NHS & healthcare)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Cardiff and Vale University Health Board have an urgent requirement to appoint into a specialist recruitment essential for continuation of medical cover.
Risks of not appointing agency medical cover
If we do not make an appointment then the impact to patient care will be:
- Provision of the essential core medical capacity required to maintain the existing service within mental health setting, including out of hours commitments would be compromised – risks to patients would increase.
- Sustainable workforce plan for MDT services would be undeliverable without these post being filled – this could lead to unacceptable staff pressures across the service.
- Without these post- holders we could not continue to modernise services in the context of New Ways of Working.
