I found a terms and conditions for supply
and installation of equipment and its pretty comprehensive: http://www.pasa.nhs.uk/PASAWeb/Guidance/Termsandconditionsofcontract/Maintermsandconditionsofcontract.htm
Does anyone know if this is the basis for
the agreements for telecare and telehealth / environmental controls
sub-contracts for installation? If so is there anything added or amended to
take into account working in people’s homes (presume individuals at home
are termed ‘beneficiaries’ in the Pasa agreement. Is there anything
about sign off by the individual at home or are complaints about inadequate
installation practice passed back to the telecare services? I’ll see if I
can get the TSA to send me the relevant bits in their code of practice.
Sorry, trying to get my head around what’s
required in relation to workforce development and to confirm anecdotal evidence
of problems with current practice which seems to be restricting who can do this
work but with little clarity on what is required in terms of competence.
Cheers. Keren

in the national contract now looked after by suppplychain?

Installation Specifications
Hello all,
I was wondering if
regional EC services had specifications for installers to comply with (even if
these services are contracted out)? We are looking to put together some
guidance on installation for telecare/ telehealth to fit within workforce
development activity so any appropriate guidance or advice would be
appreciated.
Cheers,
Aidan.
