Nowra Urgent Care Service EOI
NSW Health seeks expression of interest (EOI) from general practices for Urgent Care Services – Nowra.
Background
NSW Health is seeking expressions of interest from general practices to provide an Urgent Care Service in the Nowra region. The aim of the Urgent Care Service (UCS) is to ease pressure on Emergency Departments and improve access to urgent care options for the community.
The purpose of the EOI is to elicit interest from General Practices who may be willing to provide Urgent Care Services and to assess capability and readiness.
COORDINARE - South Eastern NSW PHN has been asked by the NSW Ministry of Health to support the process by:
- Facilitating the EOI process on their behalf
- Coordinating the responses from interested general practices; and
- Partnering with our Local Health Districts to prioritise submissions in accordance with the NSW Health guidelines.
Process
Applications will be assessed and prioritised by a panel with representatives from our Local Health Districts and COORDINARE, using the MoH criteria and local data. Prioritised EOI’s will be submitted to the NSW Ministry of Health for consideration. The final decision will be made by the NSW Ministry of Health.
Practices can download the NSW Ministry of Health emergency presentations data for South Eastern NSW here.
