A success for the last 2015 instalment of Commissioning LIVE
Following the shake-up of healthcare after the general election, 2015 proved to be a crucial year to all healthcare professionals especially in terms of new regulations. With this in mind, the Commissioning LIVE event series aimed to keep the commissioning profession up to date with the latest guidance and best practice to find new and innovative ways to address the changing needs of patients.
The last Commissioning LIVE event of the year took place in Manchester on the 24th November and saw 400+ attendees including commissioners, pharmacists, CCG board members, GPs, practice managers, nurses and many more. Mainly coming from the North West and London regions, delegates were able to network and start discussions with experts in healthcare.
With 6 different conference streams this year, delegates were able to select their topics of interest, move from a conference room to another and exchange with 70+ expert speakers. The most popular sessions included:
- The NHS is going paperless – Is your roadmap ready for April 2016? By Inderjit Singh, Head of Enterprise Architecture and Dr Paul Rice, Head of Technology Strategy at NHS England
