The Allied Health Contribution • The AHP National Commissioning Network • Early achievements • The paper, The Healthcare Professionals Commissioning Network – access to a wealth of expertise • Sharing critical reflections/assumptions upon my experience of coordinating the AHP paper to be stronger together
The AHP National Commissioning Network • All AHP clinicians involved in commissioning • 12 diverse professions, all with sub-specialties • A sub-group of the HCPCN • An online network as part of NHS networks • Face to face meetings
Early achievements • Contribution to listening exercise in collaboration with nurses through the Nursing and Allied Health Professional Contribution to Commissioning Working Group • Mapping and merging networks in parallel with work lead by the Professional Leadership Team to: • engage SHA AHP leads • develop a database of key clinical AHP experts

Content • Ensuring that users find what they value on their first hit • Ensuring evidence of outcomes, efficiencies and savings • Architecture and leadership • Harnessing energy and focussing effort • Ease of finding what you want • Local/Regional/National • Care pathway and profession • Being clear about what’s front stage and what’s backstage?
Communications • The need to access a wide clinical community in order to get creative solutions and capture evidence. • Putting commissioners and providers in touch and building relationships– locally, regionally, nationally, around care pathways, across professions, within professions, across sectors (AQP & social enterprises). • AHPs are difficult and to access, increasingly so as strategic leadership falls away and there is moving system architecture, Bringing together and making accessible the ‘wealth of expertise’ • Showing people the door – the ‘open door’ – and giving them a reason to walk through it
