Beyond Practice-based Commissioning: the local clinical partnership (24th November 2009)
Practice-based commissioning (PBC) has been a cornerstone of the government’s health service reforms in England since it was introduced in 2005, but it has so far had limited success. With the NHS about to enter a period in which growth in its budget will be severely constrained, it is vital that clinicians, especially doctors, are engaged in decisions about how patient services are designed and delivered and how NHS money is spent.
With the future of PbC in the balance, this joint paper by the Nuffield Trust and the NHS Alliance examines how PBC can be developed. While there may be many ways this could happen, this paper considers one broad model – that of multi-specialty groups of clinicians – for example GPs as well as hospital-based specialists – taking responsibility for the provision and commissioning of local healthcare.

User and carer involvement in Commissioning - an opportunity for PCTs to be world class (November 2009)
The Mental Health Improvement Programme (MHIP) and the National Mental Health Development Unit (NMHDU) are about to launch a project of work targeting PCTs to develop and refine methods and processes for increasing engagement and involvement of service users, carers and the public in key areas of the commissioning cycle for mental health and related services.
