Practice based commissioning: clinicians in commissioning

GP sitting at desk talking with patient

Practice based commissioning (PBC) is about involving GP practices and other health and primary care professionals in the commissioning of services.

Practice based commissioning group and independent leads survey

For this new survey, lead individuals within PBC groups and those practices that undertake PBC independently have been invited to take part as they are ideally placed to provide informed feedback as to their organisation’s experience of PBC locally.

PBC GP survey

The aim of the survey is to get feedback from practices on their perception of the support offered by their PCT and on the clinical and financial engagement of practices with PBC.
