'GPs in control? Reporting the new health system' is an event bringing together the people who will be part of the new clinical commissioning system with those reporting on it.

It will discuss what are likely to be the important issues, as well as providing an opportunity for building new relationships with bodies such as CSUs and CCGs, as well as hyperlocal bloggers and health experts.

Speakers come from both the health system and health journalism, and include former Health Service Journal editor and public policy expert Richard Vize.

The event is being organised by the BBC College of Journalism, Birmingham City University's School of Media and Help Me Investigate Health.
