This is a must-attend event for those providing a specialised commissioning product or service in England. Join us to find out how specialised commissioning is changing, its impact on industry and what you should do about it now.
Specialised commissioning is changing. Here’s how:
- The introduction of sustainability and transformation plans (STPs) is redefining the provision of specialised commissioning – pilots on future service provision are underway in four STP areas
- Decisions are being made as to which services remain in NHS England’s portfolio and which will be divested to CCGs
- A new specialised services strategic framework has been announced
- The Clinical Priorities Advisory Group (the main advisory body in NHS England), clinical reference groups (CRGs) and the six programmes of care have been redefined
