See our News Section for updates on Practice Based Commissioning

Scott McKenzie Consultancy is an independent, national company, widely recognised as a specialist provider of support with all aspects of Commissioning within the NHS.

The work we deliver in partnership with PBC Consortia and PCTs is designed specifically to avoid just ticking boxes and start to deliver meaningful outcomes using all the levers and incentives available through Practice Based Commissioning and World Class Commissioning.

We take a tiered/staged approach, of practical steps and processes, which delivers success for consortia and PCTs alike; start small and grow quickly.

Ultimately, if desired, it will allow consortia to earn greater autonomy, and potentially a real, as opposed to indicative, budget from the PCT.

Our services cover the development of legal entities such as Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP), governance arrangements for consortia and commissioning plans. Included within this are basic plans for better demand management, through to full service/pathway redesigns. We have many examples we are more than happy to share.

Equally, we advise on Service Provision in Primary Care; this includes supporting all aspects of the development service specifications and the winning of bids and tenders.

Each aspect of the work is focused upon five key drivers;

We place an emphasis on getting consortia structured to deliver outcomes, and focus on quickly moving consortia forward, through our tiered/staged approach. Working within or practical approach consortia can quickly progress to the development and submission of business cases for the commissioning of new pathways; all based on data analysis tied to the available skill set

At Scott McKenzie Consultancy Ltd we have a straightforward process for Practice Based Commissioning built upon our own experience in, building, developing and working with many PCTs and over 50 Commissioning Groups across England. Our Practice Based Commissioning work is currently recommended by the National Association of Primary Care where Scott is an elected member of the NAPC Council.
