Commissioning

"The CHKS programme provides us with the mechanism to focus on the key drivers to variation between commissioners."

Samatha Riley, Head of Knowledge Management, NHS South East Coast

Putting patients at the heart of healthcare delivery, World Class Commissioning defines the way healthcare services are provided.  Not simply buying services from providers, World Class Commissioning incorporates the essential elements of identifying the health needs of your population, developing service review mechanisms to consider health benefits and outcomes, and working with providers to ensure services are appropriate and accessible.

As one of only 13 providers approved by the Department of Health for the FESC (Framework for External Support for Commissioning), we have the expertise to help you turn the vision of World Class Commissioning into a reality.  From justifying strategic planning of health and social care through Joint Strategic Needs Assessment, to understanding the quality and resource effectiveness of the services you commission from inpatient care to disease management, we have a range of online tools to help you plan and commissioning services to meet needs of your whole population, now and in the future.
