Registrations open: secondary care market engagement event


Released 04/05/2026

We hope you’ll join us for our next online market engagement event for secondary care service providers on 16 June 2026. During this event, we’ll update you on our efforts to develop an improved service delivery model for secondary care services and share what we’ve heard from the sector as part of the detailed design.

One of the key changes we’re proposing is developing a new Musculoskeletal Secondary Care Service, which would replace the current Clinical Services for kiritaki (clients) with musculoskeletal injuries. The new service would strengthen eligibility and referral processes to ensure only those who really need specialist care receive secondary care services.

As part of the design process, we’ve been engaging with the sector at different stages and seeking feedback through short surveys, meetings with suppliers, professional bodies, and the Musculoskeletal Secondary Care Clinical Advisory Group.

During our market engagement event, we’ll share:

  • more details about the new Musculoskeletal Secondary Care Service
  • a summary of the feedback we’ve received from the sector
  • what the proposed changes mean for our Clinical Services, Elective Services, and High Tech Imaging contracts
  • key dates for the upcoming contract tenders.
