Commissioning is about setting the priorities for a local area and turning them into services. This is done by choosing the most effective and efficient organisations and companies. Commissioning is changing in light of new government legislation covering the NHS.
Commissioning epilepsy care can be approached in different ways. The care service should be patient centred and well integrated with other aspects of ongoing epilepsy care.
Guide to commissioning
Our updated Primary care resource pack includes a booklet on commissioning. Tools such as a service specification checklist, audit checklist and case studies of good practice are also provided.
This section of the website will be regularly updated with new commissioning tools and templates.
Business plan for an epilepsy specialist nurse
We have developed guides to writing a business plan and supported nurse posts through work to evidence the value of the ESNs’ role.
We have contributed to a good practice guide which looks at the development of the multidisciplinary team and the value of the specialist nurse.
