Our work
At NHS Warwickshire we plan, develop and Commission services, advice, prevention and interventions to help each person in Warwickshire achieve their best possible health. We provide personalised and integrated health care and support people in maintaining their independence, living longer and healthier lives and living in their own homes for as long as possible, keeping travel to hospital for specialist care to a minimum.
We work effectively together with our partners and the people of Warwickshire to make sure we use the available resources in the best way to achieve this. In this section, you can find out more about how we are structured to provide our services, our vision, our latest news and the work we do as a Primary Care Trust (PCT).
- Commissioning
Process by which the health needs of the local population are identified. Priorities for investment are set and appropriate services are purchased and evaluated. Primary Care Trusts do not provide all of the healthcare services needed by the local population, they buy-in or commission services from other provider organisations. Typically this includes local hospitals.
