“Very, very valuable and informative ” – Ward Manager Summit

I presented at the Ward Manager Summit – Developing your skills as an Effective Ward Manager, for current and aspiring Ward Managers / Ward Sisters / Charge Nurses and Senior Nurses on Monday 6 February 2017 at the De Vere West One Conference Centre, London.

It was chaired Paul Rafferty, Clinical Matron at South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust who is a Member of the Professionals Standards Advisory Group for the NMC.

My section of the day covered:

  • understanding your rights as a budget holder
  • ensuring you use finance as a resource by building on your relationship with your accountant
  • finding out the financial rules which govern your management of budgets
  • taking time to review how your ward is running from a business and financial perspective
  • tips and advice for Ward Managers managing budgets
