The document summarizes a discussion around collaborative multi-professional clinical commissioning. Key points discussed included board structures for clinical commissioning consortia, integrating care pathways across primary and secondary care, barriers to involvement of nurses and other health professionals, the need to work more closely with social care and local authorities, and tensions around responsibilities between clinical commissioning groups and primary care.
