We will be hosting four regional Introduction to NHS Finance events for general practice managers in October and November 2018.

Apologies for the football themed blog but like the rest of England I have been carried away in the excitement of the World Cup Finals. I was 6 months old when England last lifted the Jules Rimet high and the NHS had just come of age. By the time I joined the NHS it was middle aged and somewhat set in its way and that was a problem.

This week marks the 70th birthday of the NHS and many of your organisations will be celebrating in some way. We, at the HFMA, have chosen to mark the occasion by releasing our new briefing /Looking ahead: the NHS at 100/ [1]. This report explores the key challenges we think will have the biggest impact on [1] https://www.hfma.org.uk/publications/details/looking-ahead-the-nhs-at-100

At Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust we have relaunched a series of ‘Lunch n Learn’ Sessions, these are informal sessions for all members of the finance, contracts and procurement department to share their knowledge in various subjects and knowledge of Best Practice.

As part of the new FLC strategy for 2018 – 2022, the FFF central team and SROs reviewed the original six action areas and they are now being replaced with five new themes.

As the NHS evolves and adapts to the constant change in health needs in England, Future-Focused Finance (FFF) has a responsibility to reflect this change in its core values and through refreshed objectives and projects.
