Next Steps Towards Primary Care Co-commissioning - Midlands and East

This roadshow on Thursday 20 November from 10am to 4pm in Birmingham is being held to inform and support CCGs and NHS England teams on the development of the primary care co-commissioning agenda in light of next steps towards primary care co-commissioning.

The roadshow will describe the vision for co-commissioning and provide practical steps and information to implement joint or delegated commissioning arrangements for primary care.

In May 2014, Simon Stevens invited CCGs to come forward to take on an increased role in the commissioning of primary care services. The intention was to empower and enable CCGs to improve primary care services locally. There was a tremendous response from CCGs to the invitation for expressions of interest in co-commissioning earlier this year.

The joint CCG and NHS England primary care co-commissioning programme oversight group has developed the Next steps towards primary care co-commissioning document, which aims to provide clarity and transparency on the different co-commissioning models and functions in order for CCGs to reflect on their preferred arrangement and make a more informed decision on which model of co-commissioning to take forward.

The roadshow is aimed at CCG Clinical Leads and Accountable Officers or their deputies, Regional and Area Team Directors, NHS England Central Support Team staff, Commissioning Assembly members and NHS Clinical Commissioners representative, and other key stakeholders.

Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. To book visit www.events.england.nhs.uk/all/227.
