West London CCG
Our practice is a member of NHS West London Clinical Commissioning Group, the organisation responsible for buying health services from Hospitals, Mental Health Trusts and Community Organisations.
They are made up of local GPs and health professionals who are working hard behind the scenes to transform the care in our area. Please see their website for events and up to date new.
What is a CCG?
Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) commission most of the hospital and community NHS services in the local areas for which they are responsible.
Commissioning involves deciding what services are needed for diverse local populations, and ensuring that they are provided.
CCGs are assured by NHS England, which retains responsibility for commissioning primary care services such as GP and dental services, as well as some specialised hospital services. Many GP services are now co-commissioned with CCGs.
All GP practices now belong to a CCG, but CCGs also include other health professionals, such as nurses.
Services CCGs commission include:
- most planned hospital care
- rehabilitative care
- urgent and emergency care (including out-of-hours)
- most community health services
- mental health and learning disability services
