Managing Ward Finances & Budgets Conferences

Hospitals across the country are constantly under pressure to treat increasing numbers of patients with tighter funds and resources. At the ward level, over-worked Nurse Unit Managers struggle to balance patient care and ward finances. With an ageing population and inflation back on the rise, ward managers need to be equipped with the financial and managerial skills necessary to cope with these increasing pressures.

Attend the Managing Ward Finances & Budgets Conference to gain practical advice for driving operational effectiveness, and ensure your ward delivers high-quality healthcare and performs cost efficiently.

A selection of confirmed speakers include:

• Luke Baxby, Associate Director, Corporate Finance (Healthcare), Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu

• Anthony Williams, Operations Director, Institute of Surgery, Townsville Hospital
• Wayne Jones, Director of Clinical Streams, North Coast Area Health Service
