Register for NHS Procurement Leaders’ Summit 2024

Putting the Patient Voice into Procurement
Lord Darzi’s independent investigation of the English National Health Service shines the light on a crucial point: that the patient voice is not loud enough in shaping the NHS.
Procurement has a vital role to play here, ensuring that service user and community engagement is incorporated at every stage – in a meaningful way. How can procurement decisions better reflect the needs and experiences of patients, to ensure that care is delivered with dignity, compassion and respect?
Judith Hughes, HQIP’s Associate Director of Procurement, and Kim Rezel, HQIP’s Patient and Public Involvement Lead, will join Hannah Quinn-Hill, Michael Page, to deep dive into patient voice in procurement best practice at the NHS Procurement Leaders’ Summit, 9am 17 October.
This free to attend event in London offers attendees the opportunity to learn how to incorporate the patient voice in procurement decisions. Hear from industry experts and network with fellow NHS procurement professionals to share experiences and learnings.
Judith Hughes comments:
“With procurement spend being such a sizeable percentage of the overall NHS budget, we all have a responsibility to ensure that it results in value and excellent outcomes. Our event with Michael Page on 17 October promises to be an exciting and important opportunity for leaders to come together to learn, share and discuss patient voice in NHS procurement, to the benefit of our communities.”
Agenda highlights include:
- 9.10am – HQIP on Patient Involvement and Quality Improvement
- 9.40 am – HQIP on the Role of Procurement
- 10.10am – Hannah Quinn-Hill on Current Procurement Recruitment Trends and Pitfalls
