Worrying vacancy rates among NHS directors need to be addressed
Trusts face significant difficulties in recruiting and retaining senior leaders because of the NHS blame culture and a ‘near toxic’ mix of organisational pressures, according to new analysis.
The amount owed by trusts in short-term loans increased by more than 50% by the end of 2017/18 compared with the previous year.
Trust is paramount in system working and new payment systems may be important, but not yet, according to presentations at the HFMA Convergence 2.0 conference.
The cost of returning the NHS to a sustainable financial position while meeting NHS constitution targets could swallow up most of the new funding announced by the government, NHS Providers has warned.
Keep it simple, focus on making a difference for patients and put time into cross-system relationships. These were the key messages from three of the first wave of integrated care systems (ICSs) at the HFMA Convergence conference in Nottingham.

New payment systems will be important to underpin system working in future, but they are not the immediate priority, according to one of the pioneering integrated care systems.
An interim payment approach has been made available for integrated care systems (ICSs) to adopt in 2018/19 to support the delivery of more integrated care.
The NHS needs to get better at reporting its overall financial position, rather than focusing on challenges within specific sectors, Jim Mackey told the HFMA’s Convergence conference in Nottingham.
