Board Development & Business Thinking

The challenges and opportunities presented by the health system’s new financial regime coupled with the stretching regulatory requirements for providers and commissioners has prompted many Boards to think about the way they need to function in the future and what skills and experience will be required of their directors.

Beyond the basic understanding of the new financial system there is growing recognition that executive and non-executive directors need to bring a more commercial mindset both as individiduals and to the way the whole Board operates.

The HCS suite of Board Development products can put in context that financial regime but also develop the understanding of individual leaders and whole boards of and responses to the new market context for health care planning and delivery.

It offers practical and challenging insights, customised learning experiences and also the opportunity to gain new insights from senior leaders in non-health backgrounds who are familiar with working in a market and service delivery context. 

Our developmental programmes are designed to offer:

  • Development and understanding of the necessary basics of Healthcare finance;
  • Develop new ways of thinking;
  • Enhance confidence to develop innovative approaches; and,
  • Opportunities to rethink the governance arrangements you need for changing context.

 

Our programmes offers a range of development opportunities tailored to suit your board’s specific requirements. These range include:

  • Topic specific workshops on finance, governance and business thinking;
  • E-learning opportuniites;
