NHS Commissioning Seminars 2008

Bringing the pieces together
London – Saturday 31 May
Manchester – Thursday 5 June

Why these seminars?
Practice-based Commissioning (PbC) is creating a more open NHS market with increased potential for providers from the voluntary, independent and commercial sectors to deliver NHS services. Whilst the
Increasing Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme is influencing the evolution of service design and delivery.

Who should attend?
These seminars will benefit managers of NHS counselling services, and providers from the independent, voluntary and commercial sectors – whether they hold current NHS contracts or hope to develop new ones. These seminars will also be of interest to anyone who wants to understand more about PbC and IAPT.

These seminars are being held in support of BACP’s commitment to the development of best practice in NHS counselling and psychotherapy provision. Three similar seminars entitled ‘Survival of the fittest?’ have been held since October 2006. The programme and title for 2008 has evolved in line with current developments in NHS Commissioning.
