2018 - a year of success and excitement

 

At Health Business, our 2018 has ended with yet another highly successful HB Awards, where organisations across the NHS were recognised across 22 categories for the unrivalled work and achievements made over the last 12 months.

 

In July, the National Health Service turned 70 and in the months leading up to that historic anniversary and the months since, the achievements of one of the most renowned organisations in the world have rightly been heralded, with hospitals up and down the country sharing success stories and accounts of transformation that show the progress our health system has made since its creation.

 

To celebrate the NHS 70 milestone, Theresa May announced in June that the NHS in England will receive an extra £20 billion a year by 2023. As we wait to see whether the increase will help deter the myriad of issues currently facing the sector, it was welcoming to see Brighton & Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust win our NHS Finance Award for reducing its deficit by £13 million and identifying a further £30 million of efficiencies for 2018/19.

 

Let us hope that 2019 will produce similar success stories and that the financial burdens currently weighing down the efficiency and innovative work of our hospitals will begin to clear.

 

We look forward to bringing you all of the latest news and opinions from within the health service again in the new year.
