Surgical Trainees Leadership Programme – HSMC Birmingham – “Superb speaker. Knowledgeable, informative and interactive. Learnt a lot!”

Leadership Programme

I’ve worked with the Health Services Management Centre before and enjoyed the experience. It was a pleasure to present the first session on the Surgical Trainees Leadership Programme. It’s fascinating to look at how little we all know about the workings of the UK economy and to compare that to our knowledge of the economic workings of our own individual NHS organisations. We went on a journey from the biggest picture possible of the whole of Government finances down through the funding structure of the NHS to look at the individual payment made for an individual patient by one NHS organisation to another.
