The term initial health assessment refers to the holistic health assessment that should be statutorily provided to children and young people on entering care.

The doctor should be experienced in paediatrics, if possible at a senior level, and experienced in development assessment (including adolescent development). The doctor should have information available on child antenatal, birth and postnatal history Information on child's own health and on family history of genetic illness and need for screening should be obtained from child's record, which is kept at their primary GP. The IHA must be conducted within 20 working days of the child becoming Looked After, usually before the child is first placed, or if that is not reasonably practicable, before the first Looked After Review Meeting, which also takes place within 20 working days of the child entering care.
Expressions of interest should be sent to [email protected] by 5pm on the 4th December 2019. All providers expressing an interest will be invited to quote using the eProcurement portal www.nhssourcing.co.uk
