GP Clinical Commissioning Groups

The development process for clinical commissioners provides a once only opportunity for getting the governance right. GGI has been campaigning for a proportionate approach to governance which at the same time provides robust leadership and assurance, and is not over burdensome nor fetters decision making.

Our research, carried out over the past year in partnership with healthcare lawyers Capsticks Solicitors LLP identified that GPs need bringing round to understanding the importance of governance as part of a well-run business.

GPs, however, are supportive of governance when this is framed in terms of protecting their professional reputations, building effective businesses and navigating their way through the choppy waters that are part of everyday life for those leading public bodies. In recent months we have worked with an increasing cadre of GPs leading clinical commissioning groups. Our up and coming work with clinical commissioners includes:

• updating our research with Capsticks and fitting this to the clinical commissioner authorisation process

• providing more direct support to clinical commissioners as part of our work within the Capsticks Alliance

• publishing template cycles of business for PCT Clusters and clinical commissioners

• more work on ensuring all our work is made relevant to clinical commissioners, our research and advice on telehealth

• contributing to a video of the challanges of governance within GP Clinical Commissioning
