Reimagined commissioning and its role in bringing care close to home

11 Jun 2025
Charter 8
Community care / social care , Use of resources / infrastructure / capital

This session will build on existing work about the future of commissioning within the government's drive to move care closer to home. The discussion will include considerations about how outcomes, rather than activity, can be at the centre of the commissioning process. Additionally, this session should help attendees differentiate between ‘contracting’ and ‘commissioning’, with each lacking a consistent definition.
