The Commissioners would like to appoint service provider(s) for providing high quality Level 2 Intermediate Minor Oral Surgery (IMOS) including treatment under Conscious Sedation across the East Midlands. Intermediate Minor Oral Surgery is a referral service for people over the age of 16 years and is provided within a community setting. The service will provide specialist treatment e.g. complex dental extractions by a clinician with enhanced skills and experience that is either on the oral surgery specialist list or accredited in line with national guidance. Treatment may be provided under local anaesthetic and the clinician may use quality behavioural management techniques or provide treatment under conscious sedation where appropriate for minor oral surgery procedures.
The service objectives are to:
• ensure that equitable, accessible, cost effective, high quality IMOS Surgery including treatment under Conscious Sedation is available to the public within each STP/ICS
• increase the availability and accessibility of the primary care based IMOS Services to those patients who require sedation to support them to receive a minor oral surgical procedure locally
• reduce the number of patients receiving minor oral surgical procedures under general anaesthesia
• to deliver clinical services based on best available evidence and will work to relevant clinical guidelines published by professional bodies, incorporating relevant best-practice principles
• to have appropriately registered, qualified, trained, accredited and experienced professionals to ensure that the complexity of the patient or procedure matches the skills and setting of the individual or team providing the treatment
• to deliver safe, high quality, patient-centred oral surgery services from primary care settings by named Performers
• to ensure that patients who most need the services are able to be referred to a local provider
The Commissioners and would like to invite suitably qualified and experienced providers to participate in a survey that will help to gauge the interest in the proposed serviced.
