Achieving financial excellence for boards

In light of increasing clinical and financial demands, ACCA and the NHS Confederation have developed an intensive, practical two-day programme that will equip individuals on NHS boards with the key skills that they need to effectively discharge their responsibilities.

Event dates

2-3 September 2008, ACCA, London - fully booked

27-28 November 2008, ICO Conference Centre, London

Continuing the success of this course in 2007, this round of events has also proved popular. With the September session fully booked, book early to guarantee your place at the November session.

If you are unable to attend these events please note that in-house training courses are also available. For full details please email chris-dian.carter@uk.accaglobal.com.

The programme

This is a practical hands-on experience. Delegates will look at real examples and discuss real scenarios. Mock meetings will be held using material provided. These meetings will be reviewed and learning points taken. There will be ample opportunity to discuss particular governance issues of concern to participants.
