“Inclusivity, humour and interaction were all firmly established.”

An Appreciation of NHS Finance is a conference I have run in Yorkshire and the Humber for several years.

40 delegates spend a busy day learning all the basics of NHS Finance and how it relates to the service from the biggest areas of UK Government finance to the smallest areas of NHS finance. Here are some of the delegate comments from the evaluations (reproduced with kind written permission from each delegate):

Phil Cunnington on “Brilliantly engaging! Who knew NHS Finance could be fun? Really clever and straightforward explanations of previously elusive financial and economic jargon. Thanks!” – Clinical Directors’ Programme – The King’s FundAn exceptional presentation which made the rather complex and mysterious world of NHS finance clearer. Gave a view of finance and the need to engage with all parties that should be a prerequisite for any clinical and manager.
