World Class Commissioning
LATEST NEWS .......
We had our World Class Commissioning panel assessment day on 28 April 2010 and have the Final Panel Report
World Class Commissioning - Year 2
The focus of the World Class Commissioning (WCC) assurance process is still about:
Developing the PCT towards world class performance, the achievement of better health outcomes and the reduction of health inequalities;
Holding organisation to account for performance improvements in commissioning capabilities and outcome improvements;
Rewarding success;
Providing a common basis for agreeing further development and enabling reliable comparison of performance across all PCTs.
The second year of the assurance process has been refined to help Primary Care Trusts focus on the key priorities that are needed to deliver improved health outcomes for their local population.
Wider Context
High Quality Care for All set out an ambition to put quality at the heart of everything the NHS does. The task now is how to deliver this through a period of significant financial challenge.
World Class Commissioning is designed to give PCTs the skills to be at the forefront of delivering improvements to all parts of their local population, using the principles of quality, innovation, productivity and prevention (QIPP). It is a means of embedding the skills, capabilities and competencies at a local level that will be required to respond to future challenges.

PCT Preparation
The PCT is required to complete self-assessments for both competencies and governance, submit their outcomes priorities and aspirations, nominate partners to provide input to feedback surveys and collate documentation.
The PCT is also required to produce a 5-year Commissioning Strategic Plan which reflects the key health needs in the communities that we serve. Our Strategic Plan incorporates the challenge of QIPP delivery (Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention). To view the Strategic Plan and Appendices click on the following links:
