The role of the finance leader in the NHS is more challenging than ever, with a growing tension between the need to deliver on demanding long-term and short-term priorities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the last six months Newton and HFMA (Healthcare Financial Management Association) have convened over 50 finance leaders from across the NHS who have shared their experiences of addressing this challenge.<\/p>\n

The result is this briefing that explores how finance leaders can navigate today\u2019s operational and financial challenges while laying the groundwork for sustainable, system-wide change. It offers practical tools, case studies, and a transformation roadmap to help leaders create headroom, plan across multiple horizons, and lead with optimism.<\/p>\n
