Training and support for CCGs co-commissioning primary care
PCC has unveiled a programme of events and adviser support for CCGs assuming responsibility for commissioning of primary care under co-commissioning arrangements.
At the heart of the Primary Care Commissioning Development programme are regional events covering the essentials of primary medical care contracting, premises, finance and procurement. It also includes training in contracting for the other professions, enabling CCGs to build the knowledge and skills they are expected to need in future, and personal and team development covering facilitation and other skills CCGs will need to be effective collaborators and leaders of the local health system. The programme includes access to PCC’s adviser team and an online helpdesk for timely, authoritative answers to queries.
