“Fantastic course, finance in a language I could understand – at last!”

Many thanks to the Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust managers and clinical leaders who attended my two day Finance Skills event in Peckham. It was a pleasure to have your company and particularly pleasurable to have some challenge and robust debate.

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.
