The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland) ("NSS") awarded this contract to Hurley Group worth £4,800,000 on 13 Jun 2022.

Description

The Provider will deliver on behalf of the Authority a Workforce Specialist Service (WSS), a confidential assessment and treatment service. This will be available to all regulated health and social work and social care staff working as part of the Scottish workforce.

The workforce specialist service will offer specialism in treating and supporting regulated practitioners who:

  • experience increased risks of suffering mental illness including difficulties with addiction and suicidality.
  • suffer stigmatisation and difficulty accessing confidential assessment and treatment for mental health;
  • and who are reluctant to seek help due to concerns about professional implications (e.g. regulator involvement, detriment to career progression, impact of having time off sick).

The service provided is expected to be led by a multi-professional team with experience in treating regulated professionals.

The service should offer specialism in treating addictions including capability to provide or arrange in-patient detoxification and/or rehabilitation therapy.

The provider will also support mobilisation, advisory and consultancy support for the Workforce Specialist Service
