Welcome to the web page for the London Branch of the HFMA

Dear Colleagues

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new Chair for HFMA London, I was appointed the role in September after Caroline Clarke stood down.  I am sure we would all like to thank Caroline for her energy and commitment to HFMA over the last two years.

As Caroline promised we are actively planning events for the new year and will be holding our first 1/2 day session hosted by Deloitte at their Hill House Office on the 22nd January covering the following topics "Productivity improvement and cost reduction and SMART benefits" (details now available).  We intend to hold more half day/breakfast sessions during the year and will be publishing dates soon but we are hoping to hold an event at Grant Thornton offices in March.  These events will allow attendees to catch up with old friends, meet new people and work together to support our organisations with all the infrastructure upheaval that will come upon us faster and faster.  If we are to maintain financial balance across London there will be some major transformational work for each and every one of us.

We will also be holding our annual five-a-side football tournament on 2nd July 2010, again details will be available via HFMA, and all are welcome.  Last year we had 25 teams entering with the winners being West Middlesex University Trust for the men’s teams and Camden Cats from NHS Camden for the women’s team.

Our Annual Student Quiz will be taking place at the 52 club on 26th February 2010 with details available in the near future.

The London Branch Annual Conference 2009 was a great success so we are already working hard on the next event.  The London Branch Annual Conference 2010 will take place on 16th September with a title of "A View from the Dark Side" do please put the date in your diary as it would be good to see if we could beat last year’s attendance which was a record on its own. We plan to have some first rate speakers to present at this event.

To ensure we can build our links with Trusts we are looking to expand our membership this year so that we have at least one member of staff from each NHS organization in London.  If you are not currently a member and would like to know more do please contact me directly, my details are below:
