Speaker: Diana Hekerem, Healthcare Improvement Scotland; Thomas Dodd, Red Hen Limited.

In the first of a series of three webinars we will explore approaches that assist partnerships to address their Strategic Commissioning requirements. The webinars will be used to help identify Partnerships’ commissioning support needs and develop practical solutions.

Strategic commissioning is often quoted as “all the activities involved in assessing and forecasting needs, links investment to agreed desired outcomes, considering options, planning the nature, range and quality of future services, and working in partnership to put these in place.”

We will unpick this definition, and provide an overview, with reference to published studies and practical experience of commissioning processes, tools, and approaches. While there are variations in the presentation of the commissioning cycle, they include the same logical process and are concerned with whole groups of people, including:

• assessing the needs of a population, now and in the future
• setting priorities and developing commissioning strategies to meet those needs in line with local and national targets
• securing services from providers to meet those needs and targets
• monitoring and evaluating outcomes
• consulting and involving a range of stakeholders, service users and communities in the whole process

Through the series of webinars, we will explore these in more detail, with future sessions addressing the tools and techniques to support data analysis, and using findings to develop coproduced models of support and make compelling cases for change.
