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.
