Welcome to HSJ NHS Provider Services National Forum

The NHS has been challenged with transforming the provision of high quality care closer to home, in a context of rising consumer expectations, growing demand and a tougher financial climate.

Community services account for £11bn of NHS spending and employ a quarter of its clinical workforce, but this service has fallen behind comparable services in recent years.

Only through exceptional leadership, improved partnership working, investment in technology and the workforce will providers, and commissioners, be able to deliver these transformational leaps in service quality.

HSJ’s NHS Provider Services National Forum will bring delegates the latest strategy and advice and enable them to implement the local innovations that are required.

Network with provider pioneers, experts and your peers at this exceptional two day forum, tackling the challenges presented by both form and function of providing services in the community.

Providers: Develop strategies to ensure your place in a newly competitive market; discover the latest advice on organisational form development; and secure best practice advice from innovative case studies across pathways of care.

Commissioners: Learn how to effectively achieve service redesign in partnership with your providers; maximise the role of practice based commissioning; and drive the highest possible quality of care through effective performance management.
