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

The NHS spent £192billion in 2020/21. With that sort of budget, understanding where it goes and who ultimately makes the spending decisions is not always easy to get a full understanding. You’ve got good 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.

Learn where the cash goes – and why

I’ll talk you through the NHS in England and how decisions are made on what it spends. We’ll also specifically look at GP income and the factors that influence them on where their budget is allocated.

Know how to spot the golden opportunities

You will learn who the important stakeholders are so you don’t waste your time pitching to the wrong customer. You’ll also understand where the opportunities are, how they should influence your work and how to make the most of them.

We’ll bust the NHS jargon together

Are you happy with the definition of PbR? Do you know how block contracts work? Fully up to speed with aligned payment incentives? The healthcare system is full of vague terms and insider language. I’ll guide you through it.

“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."

I’ll be your guide through the labyrinth of NHS finance

  • How do you begin to understand where you fit in?
  • Once your foot’s through the door, how do you show them the value in your offer?

This 2.5-hour workshop gives you the answers to these and many more questions. As a trusted management consultant working directly inside the NHS for 17 years – I can give you the inside track to land your deals faster. Through my work with General Practice in Primary Care Networks, GP federations and super practices, I know when and where the NHS wants to spend its money. I know the factors that will make it more likely they will spend it with you and I can give you the knowledge you need to put you way out in front of your competitors.

The problems facing the NHS today are complex but, at the same time, simple – too much work, not enough people to do it. The NHS needs to change the way it works through innovation and my suite of workshops take you through and beyond the challenges of interacting with that agenda.
