Analysis of the role of the commissioner and exploring commissioning skills
You will come away from the 8 half days of the course having worked through each stage of the IPC framework for commissioning and purchasing, and tackled a series of realistic exercises designed to illustrate the techniques and tools available for effective commissioning. You will have opportunities to address your contribution in the context of the changing national agenda and to take stock and reflect on current practice; as well as being provided with practical tools to implement change where required.
