'Animateurs' and animation: what makes a good commissioning manager? (J Health Serv Res Policy.
2012 Jan;17(1):11-7.)
Qualitative case studies in four PCTs, focusing on staff engaged in the commissioning of hospital services
through both formal and informal observation and in-depth interviews conducted with managers and GPs.
This research suggests that managers of the new commissioning organizations will require a deep and
contextualized understanding of the NHS and that it is important that organizational processes do not inhibit
managerial behaviour.
