“Great orator. Very engaging.” – Winning NHS Tenders – Cambridge

Today’s Winning NHS Tenders event in Cambridge was a chance to learn from the experience of creating NHS tenders for clinical services. In the past few years I’ve written, edited, challenged or presented successful NHS tenders for four counties of Child and Adolescent Mental Health services, Addictions Services, Children’s Speech and Language Therapy, Eating Disorders and Improving Access to Psychological Therapies among many others.

Clare Allen on The NHS Budget Holder’s Survival Guide – BookI would be beneficial to read this book in the future.
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.

I was very impressed by your approach on the course last year, hence attended again. Your analytical skills and the way you teach them are highly appreciated. I have never ever been taught (including on my MBA), how to do a SWOT analysis in the way you taught us on the course.
