Central to World Class Commissioning is the prioritisation of investment according to local needs, service requirements and the values of the NHS. Options UK works with commissioners and providers to ensure that key priority outcomes are identified and that service development plans embed the use of evidence and analysis in policy making. In developing your priority outcomes, we take into consideration patient experiences, local needs and preferences, sociodemographic and relevant public health information, national priorities and other guidance, such as National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines.

Options UK can:

• Identify gaps and needs in your local service configuration
• Collate, analyse and critically appraise patient and service level data
• Facilitate the development of local strategy and implementation plans
