The Women and Children Programme of Care (PoC) includes a group of clinically closely aligned services, but critically has significant crossover with the other PoCs.
Without doubt, the most satisfying facet of this work has been the enthusiasm, skill and dedication that has been demonstrated by the many clinicians, public health representatives and patients taking part in the process.

Everyone involved with the CRGs within the Women and Children POC, has offered their contribution with the strong belief that they can make an impact on the future of their services within the new commissioning structure, safeguarding them to ensure delivery of high quality, safe care.

A range of service specifications and clinical policies for specialised services commissioning have been developed by Clinical Reference Groups (CRGs).
There has already been extensive engagement on these new national specifications and policies, as they have been developed with the support and input of lead clinicians and patient and public representatives. This approach has helped ensure that the views of key stakeholders have informed and influenced the policies and specifications.
We now want to test them further with more stakeholders to ensure all needs and considerations have been taken into account.
