Conversations with Commissioners
21 August 2009
VSNW with NHS NW will run three events, Conversations with Commissioners, in September to give delivery organisations the opportunity to meet with commissioners and hear every PCT talking about their local priorities.
These events are part of the NHS North West’s Transforming Communities agenda and follow on from the successful event on 22nd April, Transforming Healthcare Commissioning: Time to Change (City of Manchester Stadium).
You may have seen a recent flier suggesting these events would be in July, but these have been delayed to allow sufficient notice to the sector and to ensure maximum engagement from commissioners.
Conversations with Commissioners events
The events will run from 10.00am-4.00pm and will consist of interactive sessions with each PCT. There is no charge for attendance of these events.
