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.

To meet the growing demands of our ageing population, ward managers need to be equipped with financial and managerial skills.

This comprehensive conference and workshop program covers guidelines for best practice, developing evidence based budgets, efficient management of non labour resources, full-time and agency staff management, workload management and the use of clinical informatics systems.
