Commissioning NHS Health Checks Programme

Steve was engaged to implement an NHS Health Checks programme for a Staffordshire PCT. The PCT asked Steve to design the whole programme of work, from procuring the IT software, engaging with GPs to gain buy-in and then moving through into implementation.

The programme has been a deemed a great success thus far. Steve has worked with GPs to implement the auditing software, set up the contracts with GPs through a Locally Enhanced Service agreement (LES) which has already ‘gone live’.

A Director at a neighbouring PCT asked this of Steve: “I’ve been looking through the LES you sent through. It’s the best I’ve seen, so I’d like to like to re-use some of the content (with your permission) and take a similar approach in our area.”
