The commissioning agendas of all public services are now converging upon one common goal: creating the strategies and frameworks that will sustain truly healthy and independent communities for generations to come.

In partnership with the Office for Public Management (OPM), Health Service Journal and Local Government Chronicle are proud to present this unique and timely national forum, which will unite delegates from all public service sectors. Transcending the DH Health and Wellbeing framework and theory, this conference will offer solutions to the actual challenges faced, and provide delegates with the tools needed to build an allied public service network, and implement a proactive, intelligent and sustainable public health agenda.

Those who recognise that health and wellbeing are higher than ever on the commissioning agenda will not miss this crucial opportunity to have their key questions answered by experts in the field, network with a high level cross-sector audience, and take home the information they need to:
> Build durable cross-sector commissioning frameworks and productive cross-sector partnerships, to achieve optimal public health and wellbeing outcomes in the long term
> Engage local communities to understand real needs and foster a culture of preventative practice and personal responsibility
> Develop strategies for anticipating future public health needs to direct appropriate and financially intelligent commissioning activity
> Overcome key challenges of joint needs assessment and commissioning: secure financial pooling, data sharing and collaborative working
> Redefine the role and remit of the commissioner and explore options for expanding and consolidating the commissioning skill set
> Enable programme budgeting and efficient use of funding through successful LAA implementation

Who should attend:
This is a crucial conference for all public sector professionals involved in the broad field of commissioning for health and wellbeing.
