Welcome to the November One NHS Finance newsletter.

November is a busy month for One NHS Finance, with our flagship event, the Value Maker Annual Conference (VMAC), taking place in London and online on Wednesday, 18 November.

Now in its ninth year, VMAC brings together colleagues from across NHS finance to connect, share learning and celebrate the work happening across our community. This year’s programme includes keynote speakers, panel discussions, practical sessions and our annual Value Maker awards.  View the agenda for the day here. We can’t wait to see many of you there, and if you can't make it, register to watch the conference online here. 

Read on for the latest opportunities, programme updates and news from across One NHS Finance, including recently published innovations.

 

Innovation in action: 13 new Finance Innovations published

Each innovation showcases the challenge faced, the solution implemented, and the measurable benefits achieved.

Topics range from supporting effective rostering, income tracking and charity reporting to business case automation, KPI reporting, VAT reviews and Python-powered budget statements.

Explore practical ideas that you can adapt and apply in your own organisation today. We now have 254 NHS finance innovations in the library.
