Commissioning in Healthcare is a CPD accredited event for anyone facing the challenge of implementing place-based models of care and delivering sustainable services with populations at their heart.
As part of the UK Health Show, Commissioning in Healthcare is co-located with focused events on digital technology, procurement, and cyber security and is a great free-to-attend learning and networking opportunity for occupational therapists this September.
We would love to have the chance to meet with you at the event and invite you to attend our speaking session in the Primary Care Theatre with Karin Orman, RCOT's Professional Practice Manager, who will be looking at developing the AHP, pharmacy and nursing workforce and how this will release the strain on primary care. Karin will be joined by Dr. Stephanie Aiken, Deputy Director of Nursing at the Royal College of Nursing, as they provide insights into the advances being made in practice and discuss:
- How are new care models creating a workforce which reflects the size and needs of the population, capable of providing specialist care in the community?
- What opportunities are being effectively realised to design and develop the roles of pharmacy, nursing and AHPs?
- How can we give patients a consistent and personalised experience of care by expanding the workforce?
- What are the benefits for improving medicines optimisation and prescription management?
- How do such changes align with the increased commissioning of social prescribing, self-care and referral?
- Where have we seen real evidence of GP time release, additional capacity to deliver primary care services, faster diagnostics and earlier interventions?
- What are the examples of such health professionals now becoming first-point-of-contact practitioners?
Commissioning in Healthcare is part of the UK Health Show taking place at Olympia London on the 27th September and is free to attend for those working within the NHS, the wider public sector or the third sector and primary care professionals. Find out more and book your places here.
