How finance works in the NHS

Overview

In a rapidly changing NHS, this online programme gives the context for understanding healthcare business and finance. This is key to recognising how finances and financial pressures can affect patients. The NHS is looking to do things differently – in particular, this means working very closely with social care, and other parts of the healthcare system, finding new ways of delivering care that puts the patient at the centre. 

This module will help learners to understand who does what and why in the NHS and how the money flows from HM Treasury to individual NHS organisations.
