“An excellent day, full of information and entertainment. Will highly recommend this day.” – Katy Mason, Pharmacy Operations Manager, Mid Essex Hospitals NHS Trust
“Really enjoyed the style and pace of the course.” – Julie Hendy, Outpatient and Reception Manager, The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust
“The presentation of the day was excellent. How to interpret a budget exercise was excellent, the 7 point plan puts a very different perspective on how to view a budget plan.” – Scott Randall, Technical Services Lead, Mid Essex NHS Trust
“Very funny delivery, lot of witty comebacks – generally a fun day had by all. Continued repetition of outcomes very helpful.” – James Hughes, CHC Development Manager, Herts Valleys CCG
“The trainer made what could have been a very dry subject enjoyable and interesting. Was able to relate theory from day into day to day practice.” – Tracey Brown, DD CHC and Clinical Quality, Herts Valleys CCG
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 doing 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.
