Highfield Level 5 Certificate in Principles of Commissioning for Wellbeing (RQF)

Dynamic Training is proud to present the Highfield Level 5 Certificate in Principles of Commissioning for Wellbeing, a strategic programme designed for professionals navigating today’s complex integrated care landscapes. Underpinned by our core values of Integrity, Accountability, and Inclusivity, this qualification empowers individuals to commission services that genuinely enhance community wellbeing, foster collaborative partnerships, and deliver sustainable, high-quality care.

A commissioner for wellbeing operates at the heart of health, social care, and community systems. They are responsible for analysing community needs, shaping markets, and procuring services that deliver positive, person-centred outcomes. By exercising strategic judgement and promoting co-production, they ensure resources are allocated effectively, championing inclusivity and value for money. These professionals are instrumental in translating policy into practice, building resilient systems that respond proactively to financial and demographic pressures.

This programme is meticulously structured to equip learners with the confidence and practical skills to lead this change, ensuring they can contribute meaningfully to the priorities of their Integrated Care System (ICS) and the wider community.
