Delivering excellent commissioning practice as a whole system and organisation

This workshop will consider the skills, behaviours and arrangements that support organisational and / or system-wide commissioning practices in order to achieve better outcomes and value for money. This approach has never been more critical, yet we continue to hear that commissioning arrangements can be fractured, often exacerbated by increasing workload pressures.

IPC has recently been involved in the delivery and / or evaluation of a number of commissioning workforce development programmes which aim to create a more collective approach to commissioning across an organisation or system. This workshop will share IPC’s findings, reflections and observations, as well as providing an opportunity for commissioners to share their experiences and reflections for developing a system-wide approach to effective commissioning arrangements.
