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

Chair

Ian AtkinsonDr Tim Moorhead

Since becoming a Principal in General Practice, Tim has always had an interest in NHS administration. He has been an active member of the Local Medical Committee and is currently Vice Chair. He was on the Board of Sheffield West Primary Care Group (PCG). He is clinical lead of Sheffield West LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) which has been delivering Practice Based Commissioning on behalf of West GPs for the past 3 years. He is also a director in Rivelin Healthcare, a privately owned company owned by most GPs in Sheffield West which is providing clinical services to patients. Some of this broad range of interests may now raise questions of conflict of interest and will be realigned at an early stage of his role as Chair of Sheffield CCG to mitigate this perception.
