Commissioning handbook

The Commissioning Handbook is being developed by information professionals, pooling our knowledge of resources and sharing good practice so that we, as information professionals, can better support NHS staff involved in commissioning health services. This is a dynamic resource for a fast changing environment and open for all to access.

The Information Management Handbook

Jo Powell, Research Practitioner at Leeds PCT, has been working with the Yorkshire & Humber SHA on a project called the ‘Information Management Handbook’. The information contained in the handbook is of relevance to all involved in the provision of health services, although it was originally developed for AHPs . This interactive handbook provides services with the tools you need to improve your services through information management. The handbook comprises twelve principles of information management; guidelines and case studies based on current practice; benchmarking and self-assessment tools to identify your service’s information management needs; as well as top tips to help you improve your service. Find out more and get hold of a copy here. Jo is also help to come and talk to you about it, so contact her through the PCT email address book.
