EFFECTIVE GP COMMISSIONING -ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ATTITUDES SUNIL GUPTA

摘要

Sunil Gupta clearly understands the breadth of learning needs in order to progress effective clinical commissioning. The addition, at the back of the book of negotiating skill together with a summary of the Nolan Principles of public life, is helpful, as is the section on leading meetings. Although this book is published while the outcome of 'the pause' in the Health Bill is uncertain, the NHS will need to adopt a new approach to the challenges of an aging population, increases in long-term conditions, and changing public expectations, and this book provides some useful stepping stones to progress this change. Public involvement and patient engagement is a fundamental subject and is alluded to, but this will necessarily evolve and change over the forthcoming months.
