Where are the next generation of leaders in commissioning going to come from

At this conference John Bryant IPC Associate, will discuss some of the challenges of commissioning health and social care and offer an approach that can be used to do things differently, with a focus on more effective collaborative and partnership commissioning arrangements.

John will discuss the challenges of commissioning in an increasingly complex and political world, where resources are strained, and how we need to prepare our workforce to respond in an effective and agile way to this. John will also be sharing an example of effective collaborative commissioning arrangements across health and social care, and Amy Harmsworth IPC Senior Consultant, will be introducing a new course being developed by IPC – which will focus on developing the next generation of leaders in adult social care commissioning within these challenging times.
