Clinical Leadership for NHS Commissioning

The NHS alliance has just produced a well publicised document on clinical leadership for NHS commissioning. It makes a strong case that Allied Health Professions' involvement in shaping services is beneficial to Patient Care and to the health of communities. Art Therapists are included in examples of good practice, and this document will be very useful when engaging with commissioners.
