Commissioning

With commissioning still being a hotly debated topic this supplement examines how GPs, Practice Managers and PCTs will react to the governments' recommendations and it discusses how this may effect patient care.

This supplement covers many of the key issues which need to be discussed as part of the commissioning reforms and this includes topics such as -

• Accountability - The cost of getting it wrong could be very high indeed.
• Consortiums - Ensuring they operate efficiently, effectively and economically.
• Patient Care - Ensuring practices still offer the highest level of care to patients, whilst managing the demands of the reforms.
• Practice Managers - Are they ready to handle the upcoming changes?
• Relationships - Can managers at PCTs and SHAs work together with GPs to build the new commissioning regime?
• Unanswered Commissioning Questions - Including, What are the much discussed pathfinders actually doing? What is the NHS commissioning board?
