Aim of Service. This service model is designed to cover the enhanced service aspects of phlebotomy care which are beyond the scope of mainstream primary care services. It outlines the requirement for the provision of a primary care phlebotomy service being provided over and above the essential and additional services that General Medical Service (GMS) and Personal Medical Service (PMS) contracts are contracted to provide. Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group recognises that the provision of a phlebotomy service in primary care has significant benefits. Alternative Personal Medical Service (APMS) contracts will already be provided as part of the practice’s contract. The key aims of the service are: ▪ Provide a speedy service for phlebotomy related conditions in a primary care setting which are cost effective and equal to or exceed the services provided in secondary care ▪ Satisfy local demand from patients ▪ To offer patients a choice of appointment times and locations as close to their home as possible ▪ To deliver the shortest pathway possible, compatible with best outcomes for patients ▪ Help relieve the pressure on secondary care services ▪ Improve the monitoring and management of Long-Term Chronic illness

Aim of Service. Both ABPM and HBPM permits the non-invasive measurement of blood pressure over a prolonged period (usually 24 hours) and have been in NICE guidelines for adult hypertension for many years. HBPM is increasingly popular and convenient for patients and its use should be supported and encouraged to confirm diagnosis and in self-monitoring. This service is intended for: 1. Confirming the diagnosis of hypertension in adult patients with a clinic blood pressure measurement between 140/90 and 180/120 2. In addition to clinic measurements, to monitor patients with ‘white coat effect’ or masked hypertension

Aim of Service. The key aim for this local commissioned service is to provide a high-quality service to patients to access an initial assessment and diagnosis of a suspected VT. This Agreement supports primary care practitioners to manage the assessment and initiate treatment for a confirmed VT without the need for an onward referral to a hospital pathway. The expectation is that this will ensure the hospital pathway is accessed appropriately, (where the community option is not clinically indicated and/or available)
