The NHS Budget Holder’s Survival Guide – Doncaster

Many thanks to everyone who attended The NHS Budget Holder’s Survival Guide in Doncaster as part of Finance Skills Development in Yorkshire and The Humber.

It’s always interesting to see how people’s confidence in interpreting financial reports can be transformed in just a day. I’ve spent two decades delivering finance training within the NHS and have developed a Seven Step Method for interpreting financial reports using seven questions, making three calculations and taking no more than 15 minutes. It works every time.

It’s essential to have a Budgetary Control Policy within your organisation if you’re going to have clear standards of financial support and clear policies for financial practice. Examples of Budgetary Control Policies include:

Lincolnshire Partnership – Budgetary Control Manual
The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust – Budgetary Control Policy

Many thanks to everyone who made the day so successful.

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.
