Summary
Oxford, United Kingdom, July 28, 2010 --( The microsite, www.doctors.net.uk/commissioning was created for members by Doctors.net.uk, the largest and most active network of medical professionals in the UK, after opinion polls and comments made on the network’s fora revealed that the majority of doctors feel that they need more information and support in order to make the outlined changes to the commissioning of services for healthcare.Providing a central resource, it enables doctors to keep abreast of the very latest developments relating to the white paper and to plan how to translate the concept into reality.A Doctors.net.uk poll revealed 83% of doctors do not feel adequately equipped to make the outlined changes to commissioning with that figure rising to a staggering 93% amongst GPs who are at the forefront of implementing the reform.“We can’t predict what the future outcome for GP commissioning will turn out to be but we can at least ensure that doctors are informed and involved throughout this intense period of change to give it the best chance of success” concluded Dr Quekett.Designed to rid the NHS of top-down bureaucracy, the reform aims to bring together the management of care with the management of resources to ensure patients’ wishes and needs are met.The new microsite is designed to provide clear information about the planned reforms and to provide a trusted forum for doctors across general practice, public health and hospital-based services to collaborate online with ideas and examples of best practice.
