Neurology Network Managers Meeting

Neurology Service Commissioning for service managers and commissioners
3rd December 2020: Online

Many Divisional Service Managers and commissioners have no clinical background and may not appreciate the complexities of elements of neurology services. Since the departure of the Neurology National Clinical Director in 2016, local commissioners rarely include Neurology service improvement in their commissioning priorities. There is now a critical need for local leaders to communicate the opportunities to improve Neurological services to address this unmet need. Divisional Business Managers are well placed to take on this role.

The Neurology Managers Network supports service managers to promote the commissioning of high quality, outcomes focused, value for money neurology services that align to Integrated Care System models and Primary Care Networks.

Actively discuss care pathway models that have emerged in the pandemic
To understand what elements of care should be provided in face to face contacts and could use alternative virtual models
To highlight models of care that have emerged in the pandemic
Ultimately ensure patients have equitable access to:
- appropriate, coordinated care
- treatment modalities as needed
