NHS Midlands and Lancashire is working on behalf of Cheshire & Merseyside ICB who wish to procure a Medical Cover Service for the Brookfield Centre, St Helens.
The Brookfield Centre provides Intermediate Care Provision in St Helens. In St Helens Place, the ICB uses the Kings Fund definition of Intermediate Care as its working definition, which is: "A short-term intervention to preserve the independence of people who might otherwise face unnecessarily prolonged hospital stays or inappropriate admissions to hospital or residential care. The care is person centred, focused on rehabilitation, and delivered by a combination of professionals."
There are 30 beds at Brookfield, and they are classed as Level 3 community beds and can be used for step up or step down provision. Brookfield is registered with CQC as a residential care home and managed by St Helens Local Authority with therapy and nursing in reach from a Community NHS Provider. Brookfield is not a commissioned Health service. Brookfield delivers bed-based support and reablement for individuals who are medically optimised / clinically suitable to be cared for in a residential home setting with their medical needs met by primary care as if they were in their own home.
The contract that is to be awarded is for the medical cover of the individuals who are residing at the Brookfield Centre in St Helens.
