NHS Clinical Commissioners 26 May 2016
  • This report highlights how the role of nurses on CCG governing body has changed over time, empowering them to make more of a difference for their local patients and populations. It reveals how many CCGs are now employing full time chief or executive nurses with responsibility for the day-to-day running of an element of the organisation, going beyond the legal requirement for a registered nurse to sit on their governing body. 
  • It includes a number of case studies and makes recommendations for national organisations and CCGs themselves on how they can support the commissioning nurse to be as effective as possible.
