HFMA Awards winners 2011

The HFMA National Healthcare Finance Awards programme recognises the work of finance teams and individuals from across the UK.

The awards cover the fundamental aspects of the finance team role: including the production of the accounts, costing, governance, training and development, as well as the vital area of innovation. Crucially, given the importance of spreading financial awareness outside of finance departments, the awards also focus on the importance of engaging clinicians in financial management.
