Commissioning Clinical Services

Our team has displayed a deep understanding of the entire commissioning lifecycle: assessing health needs, designing patient pathways, procuring services and managing provider contracts – reducing costs whilst simultaneously improving service quality. Recent projects include:

• Delivery of Mental Health Rehabilitation Services - service redesign through to procurement and implementation to achieve savings of approximately £3m.

This work was recognised with an ‘Excellence in Commissioning’ award at the Health & Social Care awards 2010.
