“I came away with a whole new understanding of the world of health economics (and had a great laugh too!)” – Finance and Health Economics – Prestwich
I’ve worked with Children and Young People’s Improving Access to Psychological Therapies for many years, delivering the business elements of leadership programmes across the country. It was a pleasure to present Finance and Health Economics for CYP IAPT in Prestwich today. 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.
