Verita's new fixed-price reviews give commissioners the financial certainty they need in cost-conscious times.
Fixed-price offers
Verita has introduced a range of fixed-price offers for proactive governance reviews in areas that are recognised as high-risk and where claims against the NHS are high.
We work quickly to pinpoint weaknesses and put forward practical solutions to address them. Such reviews may be prompted by concerns about patient safety, or poor performance of departments or individuals in a senior role. They are delivered in weeks, not months and are subject to Verita's normal stringent controls to guarantee quality. The price is fixed before work starts. The actual price depends on the scope of the investigation but is typically between £10,000 and £15,000.
These highly focused, fixed-price offers cover:
- obstetrics and gynaecology services
- accident and emergency services
- acute paediatric services
- general practice
- and medical devices reviews.
For each service, Verita has established a dedicated, multi-disciplinary team led by an expert in the field. For example, Julian Woolfson, consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist, leads the obstetrics and gynaecology review team. Dr Maureen Baker, an experienced GP with a special interest in patient safety, service development and clinical governance, leads the general practice review team.
