Commissioning health care services for children and young people: increasing nurses’ influence

This guidance provides assistance in influencing the commissioning process for nurses who manage and lead children’s and young people’s services. As children’s nurses, it is our professional duty to monitor the quality of services provided to children and their families and influence processes for service enhancements. Commissioning processes are continually evolving, and this document will provide information and support to help you influence the development of effective, efficient and appropriate high quality services for your area.
