Introductory Guide - NHS Foundation Trust Finance and Governance (Paperback)

This is an updated version of our 2007 Introductory Guide to NHS Foundation Trust Finance and Governance. It has been developed by the HFMA's Foundation Trust Technical Issues Group and is aimed at anyone who wants to gain an overall understanding of the key financial issues that foundation trusts have to grapple with. This guide will be an invaluable reference source for anyone who wishes to gain a greater understanding of the finance and governance regime affecting NHS foundation trusts and will be particularly useful to new board members, managers and anyone who wants to get a feel for what foundation trusts are and how they operate. The guide also provides a background to the foundation trust movement, explaining what foundation trusts are and why they were introduced, as well as looking forward to the coalition government's programme of reforms.
