Clinical Commissioning Groups, NHS England and next steps for commissioning policy
This seminar will be a timely opportunity to discuss progress and next steps for Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and NHS England in commissioning services and improving outcomes.

Topics for discussion include:
• Challenges and opportunities for commissioners;
• Progress and priorities for CCGs, and the delivery of five year strategies;
• Delivering commissioning support and providing value for money;
• CCGs and the developing role of the GP;
• Integrating services and reducing inequalities; and
