Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) seeks to direct award to ‘Elective Services’ for the provision of echocardiography diagnostic services from the BCUHB hospital sites at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd in Bodelwyddan.
BCUHB currently has three cardiac physiology departments across North Wales that provide various cardiac diagnostics which includes basic heart monitoring to implants. The service runs Monday to Friday with some weekend work. However, due to capacity and demand mismatch, long-term sickness and vacancies, there is insufficient capacity to meet the required 8-week diagnostic waiting time target. Current waiting times are excessive, and consequently, additional service capacity is required for a limited time to help reduce waiting times and support service delivery of the service.
BCUHB require provision for performing and reporting echocardiography diagnostics. All clinicians are required to be suitably qualified with appropriate experience and accreditation to carry out the procedures listed. Services must comply with the standards and recommendations issued by the British Society of Echocardiography (BSE).
