“Really informative and fun day.”

It’s always a pleasure to train at the British Racing School. The thoroughbred racehorses are magnificent and the facilities excellent. Today’s The NHS Budget Holder’s Survival Guide was timely reminder of the continuing need for targeted financial training for managers and clinicians on all aspects of budgeting and finance..
