Overview

With the NHS being at the heart of government spending plans, it attracts significant political attention. Parties of different persuasions have their own views on the NHS - this plays out in Parliament and the public arena at a national and local level. This course looks at the links between the NHS, politics and government policy. It also reviews the financial challenges that have faced and continue to face the NHS in the UK.

This course is suitable for budget and operational managers, clinical staff, finance staff, and staff new to the NHS.
