As a Fellow, Neil will be working with the GO Lab to help develop guidance and other content for commissioners and providers, and speaking at and contributing to GO Lab events. He is looking forward to sharing his experience with those who are facing the considerable challenge of making outcome based commissioning and contracting a success.
