Welcome to Commissioners
Welcome to the education commissioning area of our website.
A listening exercise in 2006 identified that what education commissioners wanted was support on implementing guidelines, a means to integrate education into new creative approaches to national and local priorities, and systems to maximise the benefits of team training. Needless to say we now deliver more locally delivered learning right into the heart of multidisciplinary teams that train in our regional centres.
