NHS Midlands and Lancashire  is one of the biggest and best-performing commissioning support units in the country, with among the highest levels of staff and customer satisfaction.

Offering a full range of professional services to  hospital trusts, local authorities, integrated care systems (ICSs) and other public bodies\ across the country, our NHS values underpin everything we do. 

Commissioning support must enable ICBs to harness techniques, thinking and ways of working from other sectors in order to allow them to deliver best value, timely and evidence based commissioning decisions. In this respect, commissioning support will feel different to current approaches. It will support working differently and will enable those taking commissioning decisions to do so with accuracy and acuity by operating against best practice.

Commissioning support will be an attractive sector for talented staff who will be able to develop expertise and skills as they innovate and have rewarding careers.
