External Partnerships is a umbrella term that encompasses ANY agreements we have, or are putting in place with external Organisations (including other NHS Trusts), Agencies or specialised outsourcing or insourcing companies running a service, clinics, doing assessments/audits or assisting with a backlog of work for MKUH.

IT Requirements

➡️Notice: Provide as much notice as possible, ideally during initial discussions and well before the start date.  

📢Note : If we find out last minute, this could mean delays to access being given.

➡️Form: Complete the Outsourcing/Insourcing/External Organisations form to help us assess requirements.

➡️Costs: Allowing access to MKUH systems comes at a cost to the Trust and as such all accounts will need to be licensed to access MKUH resources and ensure they are compliant.  The cost per user is roughly £52.81 for 1 month term with monthly billing or £528.19 for 1 year team, with annual billing.  This will need DSP approval before any licensing can be purchased, so this needs to be factored into the setup time.

➡️Licensing: Tailored based on required access; this may not include MS Office or an MKUH email address.

➡️HR : Please also ensure that you speak with HR regarding Honorary Contract requirements, they will then request the accounts to be setup.
