Provision of Occupational Health Doctor Services
Authority: Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionRoyal United Hospitals Bath (RUH) has an Occupational Health (OH) Team that supports the onboarding process for new staff and also needs to meet the Occupational Health needs of the existing workforce.<br/><br/>The OH team have found it difficult to recruit sufficient qualified staff to meet the demands on them. This is due to a lack of qualified people available in the market and the competitive geographical environment as they are bordered by several large NHS Trusts.<br/><br/>This has had a severe operational impact and consequently the remaining team do not have capacity to maintain the service provision. As a critical service, any risk to this provision would create significant disruption to Trust-wide operational activity and therefore it is imperative that any gap in the service is filled. Internal solutions have been exhausted so the Trust is now looking to an external supplier to bridge the gap in the requirement.
