Event / Annual Business Planning / Financial Recovery Workshop

The session is divided into 2 parts, which each section covering the subject matter from both a theoretical and practical perspective.

The session will cover the annual cycle of business planning including the budget setting
process and timetable, the planning guidance from NHS England, the iterative process of balancing costs with revenue, the efficiency requirements, (Cost Improvements) leading to the final sign off the plans by the Board, ICB and NHS England. The budget setting methodologies, governance and cultural challenges will also be discussed with practical examples and a business plan exercise.

Financial Recovery:
We are aware that up to 3/4s of NHS organisations are in financial recovery.
This programme will look at the ‘Financial Recovery Curve’ to determine the current
challenge for organisations and the steps that can be taken to move to financial
sustainability, whilst also considering the productivity challenge & how Finance can support with this.

discussed in detail. The fundamental principles to achieve a successful turnaround will be considered and their applicability to the challenges faced by delegates within their own organisations.
