HFMA advanced diplomas in healthcare business and finance

Overview

The HFMA advanced diplomas have been carefully designed with NHS partners, many of them board level, who have worked at the frontline of health and social care – meaning their knowledge is grounded in invaluable experience.

The HFMA's advanced qualifications help learners develop their understanding of how to address financial and operational challenges across the NHS. They are relevant to individuals aspiring to develop senior strategic and leadership skills who are currently working in clinical/medical, finance, managerial and operational roles.

On successfully completing two HFMA advanced diplomas you can apply to a final stage MBA with the University of Northampton.
