The NAPC ’07 Annual Conference attracted over 300 GPs, PCTs and Practice Managers. The conference this year will look at how to move towards world class commissioning through achieving integrated care.
World class commissioning will have a direct impact on the health and well-being of the population, driving unprecedented improvements in patient outcomes and ensuring the NHS remains one of the most progressive and high-performing health systems in the world.
Ultimately, world class commissioning will deliver better well-being for all, better care for all and better value for all.
The commissioning landscape is changing. People are living longer, their lifestyles and aspirations are changing, and the nature of public health and disease is evolving.
World class commissioning will help us to meet these new challenges by taking a strategic and long-term approach to commissioning services, with a clear focus on delivering improved health outcomes.
A shift from traditional models of commissioning will be required. Local partners, including primary care trusts, patients, the public, local authorities, clinicians and providers will need to develop open and innovative partnerships to deliver the best possible care services for the local community. Together, they will make informed choices about local priorities and how best to deliver them.
