Emergency Response and medical treatment service

Sizewell C (SZC) a new nuclear power station under development in Suffolk, is a copy of Hinkley Point C (HPC). A success at HPC has been the implementation of a Nurse Led Occupational Health Service (Hinkley Health) accessible to everyone engaged in the construction of the HPC build. A similar Health Service (Sizewell Health) is to be set up at SZC, building upon the experience, success, lessons learned and best practice of Hinkley Health. Sizewell Health will work to reduce the ask on local health services that a mainly itinerant workforce could bring, such that there is the minimum impact for these. The service will also work with local educational institutions to support the education and development of students in a variety of health courses throughout the lifetime of the project, with onsite placements and mentorship of students, also engaging on courses delivering real life experience in the lecture theatre setting, on working within Construction / Occupational Healthcare to a possible future workforce. The requirement will see a progressive increase in scope of service, resource & supporting infrastructure commensurate with the workforce profile and corresponding site/programme activities. The Occupational Health (OH) provision of Sizewell Health is being undertaken by a different health provider, requiring close and good working relationships to ensure the smooth running of the entire service. The health service will be structured around managing the health of the construction worker with a three-tier approach encapsulating the worker, the workplace and wellbeing - Prevention of Ill Health, Fitness to Work and a Treatment Service. The service provider will be innovative in the services it provides,working closely with SZC Occupational Health and Wellbeing Manager. Treatment and services to be offered on-site will include but not be limited to: - First Aid and First Responder Emergency Care Level 3 (FREC3) (or similar) training - an expanding drop in, nurse led treatment service for minor injuries and illnesses - proportionate GP provision - provision of commonly prescribed medication. - 24/7 GP telephone service - confidential health advice relating to work or non-work-related health issues (including sexual health and substance misuse). - Other Clinical services as required. - collation of data on accidents and cases of ill health. - Emergency response capability across the main construction site and transfer to local NHS hospitals if required, working closely with East of England Ambulance Service Trust (EEAST) to ensure a seamless handover of patients. - Procurement of all equipment required to run this service as it becomes established charged to Sizewell Health so that this becomes the property of Sizewell Health. - accessible and useable IT system, to maintain health records in accordance with legislative requirements, satisfying all requirements around DPIA and cyber security
