Our role as the East of England Clinical Networks is to connect people and organisations, to create an environment that enables change and innovation to improve people’s health and wellbeing, so it is comparable with the best in the world.

Working in partnership, networks influence commissioning by:

• Highlighting and reducing unwarranted variation in health care
• Encouraging innovation in how services are provided now and in the future
• Providing clinical advice and leadership to support decision making and strategic planning
