Don’t let the NHS numbers game throw you off track

The NHS spent £192 billion in 2020/21. With a budget of that size, understanding where it goes and who ultimately makes the spending decisions is not always easy to get a full understanding of. You’ve outstanding products you want them to buy, services that will have a direct impact on improving patient outcomes and technology that will speed up diagnoses – you deserve to know how the NHS spends its money, the factors that determine who wins the contracts and what you can do to put yourself in prime position. It’s a tricky topic with many different strands. But it doesn’t have to be incomprehensible.

Testimonials

“Scott ran a series of workshops and 1-2-1 sessions on working with primary care and I could not recommend him highly enough. He was supremely knowledgeable about the changes sessions, he took our group from being extremely ignorant to very confident in the finer details of primary care. No question was too simple and no request too much. We all found his support invaluable and left the sessions much better for them."
