Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group

Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group Prospectus

Message from CCG Chair Dr Tim Moorhead:

I am delighted to present the prospectus of the Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group, which has begun to take on responsibilities from Sheffield PCT in advance of its formal establishment in April 2013.

We believed it was important to publish a statement of what we aim to achieve, how clinical commissioning is different, and how we will work. This prospectus sets out to do that. It is deliberately brief and will be followed in the coming months by our strategies and action plans that will show how we will achieve our aims.

We have developed this prospectus in consultation with GP practices, partner organisations, members of the public and the staff of Sheffield PCT. I hope it explains who we are and what we intend to achieve for the health of the city.

If you have any questions or comments on our document or about the Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group in general, please contact Tim Furness, Associate Director of Business Planning and Partnership, t.furness@nhs.net
