Aims & Objectives
Capita's National Commissioning
Community Health Services Conference focuses on how
commissioners can deliver a dynamic local health care system and drive
forward quality and efficiency gains.
Community health services
are pivotal in taking the personalisation agenda forward. With an ageing population and growth in the number of people
with long term conditions, care will continue to shift from hospitals
into a community setting. Primary Care Trusts need to urgently review
and consider alternative provider approaches to care, if they are to
become world class commissioners.
Drawing
together expert speakers from across the sector, this event addresses
the mounting challenges facing community health services. Strategic
guidance and innovative best practice sessions provide you with the
tools and techniques to modernise and improve commissioning in
your area.
Key issues to be covered include:
- Building successful partnerships for integrated care
- Managing demand and improving capacity
- Reducing health inequalities and widening access
- Transferring services to community settings
- Building a business case for commissioning community health services
- Collaborative working to provide better mental health services
This timely conference examines how commissioners can effectively assess community needs, prioritise health outcomes, procure services and manage service providers so that high quality, efficient care is provided.
