“Who knew health economics and finance could be fun? :)” – Health Economics and Finance – 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 Health Economics and Finance 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.

Thanks!” – Clinical Directors’ Programme – The King’s FundAn exceptional presentation which made the rather complex and mysterious world of NHS finance clearer.
