Project on commissioning and health promotion

This is funded by the Department of Health England and led by Richard Shircore, to help NHS organisations to commission health promoting activity as effectively as possible. World Class Commissioning presents an important opportunity for health promotion –but commissioners need to be able to scope programmes well and set appropriate standards for the workforce.
