Why I Love Working for the NHS
Every day is different and working with clinical and management colleagues, you are able to use your technical and business expertise to make a real tangible difference to enhancing the quality of clinical care being provided. This can range from delivering multi million pound projects to supporting clinical colleagues in managing operational budgets, from negotiating major contracts to supporting development of long term strategies.
The CIPFA Qualification
The breadth and structure of the qualification takes you well beyond the technical aspects covered by other accountancy bodies into the development of key management skills which provide an essential foundation for your future career. Personally I have also continued to support my professional body post qualifying including chairing the Scottish Branch and being a member of the UK Council.
What the Training Scheme can offer you
The Training Scheme with its modular approach gives you an excellent awareness of and tester for the broad range of career opportunities that exist within NHS Scotland.
