Programme
Welcome from the chair
Gary Kaplan has spearheaded transformative changes through the Virginia Mason Production System, an innovative model rooted in lean principles derived from the Toyota Production System. This approach emphasises eliminating waste, improving workflow, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement, which has led to significant enhancements in efficiency, patient care, and employee satisfaction at Virginia Mason and healthcare organisations across the globe. Attendees will gain invaluable insights into how this methodology enhances efficiency, improves patient care, and empowers healthcare teams. The session will equip healthcare finance professionals with practical strategies to foster a high-performing, patient-centered workforce within the NHS. Key topics will include creating a culture of continuous improvement, engaging staff at all levels in problem-solving, and leveraging data to drive decision-making.
Jeff Boateng, from the North West London Community Collaborative, and Chris Giles from Grant Thornton, will share their experiences of delivering a demand and capacity programme across the North West London Community Collaborative: how they worked with services to develop options for the future community nursing workforce across 7 boroughs that managed growth within the existing headcount whilst delivering improvements in quality and efficiency.
In Spring 2024, One NHS Finance's National Finance Academy introduced a new Promotion, Recruitment, and Retention strategy. This initiative aims to make the NHS the top choice for finance careers and to attract diverse talent from within and outside the NHS.
A key aspect of this strategy is making NHS board members aware of the support available to assist them in recruiting CFOs and other senior finance roles. By leveraging the talent pools and networks of CFOs and deputies through One NHS Finance, the strategy seeks to minimise reliance on costly agencies.
Hardev will provide an update on how CFOs/ NHS Board members and regional FDs can take advantage of this opportunity.
The NHS is facing many financial and workforce challenges, with increasing pressures from inflation to funding, waiting lists, and staff vacancies.
Siva will give an overview, addressing some of the key objectives, funding challenges and how this is likely to be achieved to continue to deliver high quality healthcare.
Two years since their inception ICSs are now starting to mature and work collaboratively to try and solve some of the biggest challenges facing the health and care system. A critical challenge is that of a sustainable workforce. In this session we hear from Sarah Morgan chief people officer about how they are tackling these issues and why integration is an enabler rather than a barrier.
